Steve was a year below me in Button Lane Junior School. I knew him quite well, used to go out with his sister. I bought the book when it came out, and also gave copies to my brothers and sister. Really enjoyed reading it, as it evoked a lot of memories from my childhood also.

I got in touch with Steve after reading the book, and he reminded me that I gave him a driving lesson once in Northern Moor. He's got a better memory than me.

The book is highly recommended.

Posh? I can't imagine by what standard you are measuring him by.

I know Ste he's not posh - down to earth fella with good music tastes.

I think what Kaz means is that he was posh compared to some of the kids who lived in the same area. His dad had a job and his own transport, they had a colour tele, went to church and ate breakfast regularly. To some in Northern Moor at the time, me included, that was just a bit posh.

I know Steve too. From Button Lane, Tom Mcgarrys, West wythy, Footie in the park, Park Pub, City and we share a similiar taste in music so I've seen him at a few gigs. We lived no more than half a mile apart for about twenty years. Nice bloke, if shit at football and a proper f*cking smartarse :)

I was also in that black cab with Terry Hyland that went to wembley in 81. Skinny twat :)

Its a good book but I can imagine its even better for those, like me,who can connect with the time, the area and the actual characters in the book.

Recommend it..

I read the book after Mrs H bought it as a pressie. I really enjoyed it. The city stuff is good plus the humour work well and the references to seventies and eighties rang true for me.

I emailed Steve to congratulate him on doing a good job and he was humble in his response. He even sent me a couple of word documents with chapters that did get put into the final version.

I read it on Holiday, really enjoyed it :)

Read it! Read it? I wrote it!

Well, I proofread it and did a spot of editing on it and sorted out a few pics, but Worthy and I have collaborated on a few things over the years. We were the Lennon & McCartney of the '90s!

I can highly recommend this book, but the next project will be better still!

I spent the weekend In Budapest with Worthy (left) and a few other lads.
