Many thanks for your kind remarks i really apreciate it. all the best regards Don

Bought it for my son last week, hope he passes on to me when he has finished it.

He has done lots of things with the 1894 group and I know Dante has a chapter in there.

There is a chapter about the origins of the invisible man song .if you read it yet would apreciate any coments

Interesting to learn it’s origins had nothing what so ever to do with football.
Very odd that it became a City song let alone a long standing fans favourite.
Was the first verse ever sung on the terraces and then just dropped, I know I have heard it before but cannot remember whether it was at games or just in pubs and on coaches?

Ive never heard the first verse sang in the grounds only in pubs and on the coaches .it took of after the Ireland trip .suppose reason it took of is it a catchy tune and it highlited the fans humor singing it in the lower league as it would make no sense singing it at Chelsea and Arsenal at that time .it even got in Wikipedia donkey's years ago

Just finished reading it while on holls. Very enjoyable read and it’ll bring back memories for lots of City-fans. And written as only fans can write down their stuff. Also makes you realise how clean nowadays game has become. With all the positives and negatives that comes with it.
Well done everyone who participated and well done Don for taking the initiative that formed a nice add to the collections of stories about our wonderful footballclub. It’s been a pleasure taking part as well.
For the ones who still haven’t got themselves a copy, it’s worth the money easily.
