I've only read the original book by Alec Rowland - that was excellent, no idea why another book was needed, unless someone has read both and can answer that question?Would you say it follows the book by Catrine Clay - Trautmann's Journey?
I read it a while ago, and I've just listened to the audio book in the car just to refresh my memory of his amazing story.

The Catrine Clay book details more of his early life and less of what happened after his heroics in the famous cup final. I wrote a small review for each on LibraryThing after I read them.

And they had a feature on William Harrison Ainsworth later on. A name you'll no doubt recognise.

Just heading off to this. Taking the wife!
My mate is a family member and they are all there tonight as wellHopefully going to see this tomorrow night, looking forward to it.
From what I have heard it is a good watch - looking forward to seeing it.
Was supposed to go tonight as his +1 but his wife changed her mind and pulled rank.
Selfish cow - no interest in football - just a chance to dress up and get pissed..
Edit: guess that does not make her all bad

Actually it was The Lancashire Witches.
I bought it back in the 1970's in hardback and in the original Lancashire dialect. Great book but not factual. He told a good story based on history but it's well wide of the mark. Worth a read though.
I think it's only available now in a shortened format.
