I'll echo that, sounds like a great idea, Rich!

I'll see who Roy would like proceeds to go to. There is a story in the book which points to Samaritans, so I'll ask him.

I'd be happy with that considering I know a couple of volunteers & people who have needed their help.

Perhaps you could get them to Roy to sign as well?
 
Well, he will be over for a week, doing publicity, then a Colchester signing the following weekend.

He's staying with me in Leigh for a few days, so if you get them developed sharpish, we can definitely sort something out!

A quick polish & trim of photos & a trip to Asda or Snappy Snaps & all should be ok! A 2 day turn round I reckon at most!!
 
Can't wait for this. Have my ticket already and will be getting book on the big night. Looking forward to reading the truth about this legend, and did he really go home with a car load of barmaids after a Friday night match. That was the rumour. Wonder if any of his old conquests will turn up for a bit of nostalgia as well.

When does he arrive ? Having exhausted all possibilities to delay I've managed to extend my return to UK but only by a week. Flying back either on 31st or possibly 1st. As my all time #1 legend by a country mile I'd take 30 secs of his time for a photo opportunity and a chance to thank him for the memories.

And if Kevin Maher is reading this as #2 you are a country mile ahead of the rest of the pack. :smile:
 
Hello ORM, unfortunately Roy doesn't fly in himself from sunny Spain until Thursday, Sept 6, and leaving again on Monday, Sept 17.

Sorry mate :sad:
 
There is a Kindle version - on the official Aug 20th release date.

Book was finished earlier than we expected so Amazon have started shipping and Waterstone's have taken stock nationally.

But Kindle IS coming!

Ha ba. Thanks Bernie no probs. any chance of an ash cloud on the weekend before. Ha ha. Not the only disappointment I've had following the mighty Shrimpers but a gutting one nonetheless. I'm first in the queue for any video of the night and very jealous of the lucky *******s going.

Still I fly home tomorrow night. Finished a couple of calls from home. It's 9pm I'm showered, its 30 degrees, I'm changed and heading into town for a beer or several in consolation with some workmates also heading away Already warned work I'm late in tomorrow which is a good job because packing when on the calls didn't go too well. I love being boss.

Oh dear. Is it morning already?:stunned:

I've just received my copy of Red Card Roy and will be having my first read of it a bit later
