Burger! Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Seeing the post about the Guildford city book reminds me I must make sure by copy of "Up the Reds" The history of Redhill football cub 1894 - 1994 by Brian Thomas is kept in pristine condition, not a mark on it and never had the pages opened fully so its like new, reports of a copy that sold for £50 so sort after, helped by a very good review from one of the national news papers if I remember right, Carthorses dad sold it to me when we worked at the same firm in Hever road. Spotted yesterday a copy on ebay up for £19 :99p, nowhere mint but not many that come on the market http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UP-THE-REDS-HISTORY-OF-REDHILL-FOOTBALL-CLUB-1894-1994-BY-BRIAN-THOMAS-/201704353949?hash=item2ef684309d:g:Q8AAAOSwcnpTora8 After all this time has past there is one page in the book that still brings back memories, the page dedicated to Kevin Stevens who came up through the ranks to claim his place in the first team with distinction not only as a player but when many would be thinking would a match be on, Kevin would be out on the field with a fork or a barrow load of sand trying to get the game on. Then came that horrific day and Kevin was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilnBrowLobster Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Used to be friendly? I remember when someone at Redhill turned down some old Redhill stuff on offer. He's now luckily at Horley, Kiln Brow is a much friendlier place to watch football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
