So happy to announce that my book on the history of the #BHAFC matchday programme, will be published at the end of November. The result of a nearly 15-year labour of love, it will be the perfect addition to any coffee table! Keep checking back here for details on how to buy!
Over the past few weeks, a lot of people have asked about where my programme collecting started. The answer is 28th August 1968 and #BHAFC v #tufc. What makes this programme so good is the 16 pages from Albion are enhanced by the #FootballLeagueReview, a little gem of a magazine
