[Hornchurch "O"]

Tell me there are no Max jokes in the book.

>>>>Tell me there are no Max jokes in the book.

 

Max has two chapters - one is an appreciation of Harry Martin, and the other is about the day he went to two matches at the same time at different venues with the BBC in tow.

[Eastside Urchin]

There will be jokes then lol

[Baron of Black Fen]

"Biased Bob - the only mention of supporters is Harry Martin, as Max has sent me an appreciation of Harry Martin, and I feel it must be included in both the book and on the disc - if anyone has any decent photo of Harry, or of any of the players, I can include these also on the disc (but not in the book, due to the cost of printing in colour)."

 

No one can argue with that decision Dagger.

 

'Arry will be an Urchin legend for ever !!!!

[Eastside Urchin]

A bit disappointed thomsons appearance on you tube has gone unappreciated

[Baron of Black Fen]

bob you dont need to be in a book every lino in england knows of you , it is rummerd that you alone were our 12th man we need you back ornchurch needs you COME ON BACK

 

 

I will be at the West Ham game Sir Gary and will make an effort to get to more home and away games this season.

 

Took last season off. Only watched one game and that was Bognor's last home game which they won. So i made arrangements with some Bognor supporters to meet up with them at both home and away games next season because we were sure Bognor would get promoted. They got stuffed 4-1 in the play off semi.

 

No one saw that one coming.
