Simply the E's

[Duke of York]

'Simply the E's - A History of Enfield Football Club' has just hit the shelves of Waterstones in Town. Initially it looks like a fairly good read but it mysteriously ends with sketchy details of the 2002/03 season. Another critisism is that the author hardly makes any mention of Enfield Town FC as if the club never existed. He certainly doesn't make any reference to his own feelings about the breakaway.

 

It's definatly worth picking up a copy - I'm sure it will be of interest to fans who were at Southbury Road and new Town fans like me. Alan Diment also states that profits from the book will be passed onto Haven House Hospice.

Good to see the profits going to Haven House. Little Miss Happy gets a weekend there once a month giving Mrs H and I a much needed break. Haven House is a great place and the kids really enjoy it there.

I do believe Mr Arkwright will be getting a supply - he was gauging demand on Saturday.

As DOY said in his opening post, it is Alan Diment, who, like his father, was long-time secretary of EFC.

Thanks Derek.

[Arkwright]

Yes they are available from the shop, if you'd like one posted out to you then please pm me & I'll let you have the details.

For what it's worth I thought it was an excellent read, especially for those of us not old enough to have experienced the E's runs in the Amateur Cup.
