Paul Lake's Autobiog Front Cover

[parkerblue]

Just seen the cover for Lakey’s new book – what do you guys reckon?

I really like the jigsaw idea myself

 

[Alex the Blue]

Looks good to me

class front cover.

Can't wait to read this. Lakey put the cover on his Twitter feed last week. Can't be many front covers that dont have pic of the main subject on it.

Looks superb. One our real footballing losses over the years that I don't think was truly recognised was when Lakey disappeared off the radar.

Always in the wars (remember him getting knocked out cold) and then I think he tried to play against Villa at home and that was the last we saw of him.

A Denton lad, a proper Manchester lad and City supporter ... he could have played for the Blues and England for years.

Will definitely buy this book, when's it out ..... ??

I remember this too. Was pretty horrific. I remember watching the end of season VHS that interviewed the club doctor (was it Norman somebody?) and the mention of him turning blue at some point. I was only pretty young at the time and that's probably why i'm still shit and heading the ball now hahaha
As Bruce Wades-Hughes (nice name) has already said I bet there aren't many out there that dont have their own face on the cover

Sorry to name drop but I was talking to him the other night about it, he choose it from a few ideas but to him because that's exactly how he felt at the time and it summed it up best for him.

Can't wait to read the book as he's dropped a few hints as to the sort of stuff it reveals.<br /><br />-- Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:21 pm --<br /><br />

No he suffered his injury against Villa at home, then collapsed away at Boro two years later never to play again in only his second game back.

I hope Lakey sells more books than Scholes & Neville put together (both have got there books out soon). Somehow I doubt it sadly.

A really good front cover, very emotive, before even reading a page you get an idea of how the author feels. Very distinctive too.

Sadly I never got to see Paul play, but I did get to have a kick about at Platt Lane as a kid with him and TC, both really top guys, both unfortunate with injuries.

I've met Paul a few times around Maine Road and Eastlands and he's the nicest bloke you could meet, considering how frustrated he must be at what happened it says alot about him as a man. I'll definitely be getting a copy.

 

[BELFAST_BLUE_BOY]

great lad and came to supporters club for a talk...loves the club even though they treated him like shite at times....will be getting a copy!

 

[abitheblue]

Great front cover.... cannot wait to read it.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Very clever. I don't normally go for footy autobios but I think I'll make an exception here.

 

[cookster]

Would have been the best player of his generation. Life can be a bitch sometimes!

 

[Bigg Bigg Blue]

One of lifes good guys. Always has time for any blue he sees.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Clever!

 

[SWSB]

will be getting the book,be good to read while abroad.He also swallowed his tongue remember v Leicester at home.Hope the book sells well for him.

 

[cant spell-dont care]

dont judge a book by its cover ;)

He said on twitter last week that one of the reasons he wrote the book was to raise awareness of mental health problems in football as he suffered from depression himself.

I'm looking forward to it coming out and hopefully it will achieve what he wanted it to.
