"The Keeper"

Not bad for a club with no history.

I've only read the first one, by Alan Rowlands. Very good read, didn't feel the need to read the 2nd one.

Indeed a top read, the best part is actually the years before he became a Footballer.

A second version of the trailer for anyone that may need captions:

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That trailer is pointing to what should be a brilliant film. I can still see Bert kicking the ball up the ref's arse!. The kind of thing that is as appropriate today as it was then. In fact, I wouldn't bother with the ball, I'd just kick the arse.

Indeed - i think at the time I was reading it, Rooney was having his first book out ''My Story'' or whatever it was at the age of 23 or something..... I then read Bert's book about being captured twice by the Russian's, smacking someone of a higher rank who didn't want to escape, smacking the guard and stealing his gun and in the dark of the night seeing a shadow in front and not knowing which side he was on thought ''it's me or him'' and shot the figure. And in Rooney's book he was telling us about having a paper round.....
His Hitler Youth days was fascinating too - he was playing sports in ages way beyond his years and really was the blonde haired blue eyed boy Hitler dreamed of. Because of his sporting ability, he got away with getting into trouble when other lads were dealt with!
Can't wait to see the film and hope all of that is captured in it - hope it makes its way to the USA though suspect i shall have to wait until Amazon or netflix pick it up.

Can’t bloody wait for this. John henshaw is fantastic. A real blue. He goes to my dads church in Mossley and they always have crack about city.

Bert is also my dads hero. I told him about this film today and we are all taking him in April to see it.

First time he has been to the pictures since Et above the Kwik save in burnage in about 1984.

John Henshaw is a mate of my cousins. A Monsall/Newton Heath lad. My dad used to pick him up in his taxi and he always says he's a belting lad. Good actor from Peaky Blinders plays Bert as well. Can't wait to see it.

Which of the 2 books about bert is the better read. The one by catherine clay or the one by Rowling. ??.

There are so many mistakes in Clay‘s book. I haven’t read the other one, but Clay‘s background research is poor
