Some news:

You've read all the facts about Leeds United you will ever need to know, now read the fiction.

I've written a coming-of-age novel about male friendship rooted in football & counterculture. It's called 'Days of Treacle'.

Big respect Patrick Bamford. A scorer of great goals and for a short time big teams couldn't handle him. His body let him down right at his peak (17 PL goals, 27, England cap). Always felt this must have absolutely crushed him, but through it all a stand-up guy until the end. Go well #lufc

Great privilege to be asked to attend the launch of the Wilko92 campaign tonight, and the ceremonial handing over of the great Paul Trevillion's artwork of Howard Wilkinson. In the coming years this will be transformed into a long overdue statue at Elland Road marking Wilko's amazing achievements

I was told they were skipped at the time, but no one seemed certain. When I did the book (over a decade ago now) I found you can still see a corner of the white-painted plinth it was all mounted on. Would be lovely if it was all just covered over and could be revealed when we do the refurb

Thanks, and I'm new to this too. You signed my 'proper copy' of Scar after a book talk in York earlier this year
