Where Are They Now? - Huddersfield Town FC

Great book for all terriers fans nice to know what the older players and fav are up to nowadays.

BOUGHT AS PART MY HUSBANDS 60th PRESENT FOR MY HUSBAND, GREAT READ AND VERY INFORMATIVE, MET THE AUTHOR AT A HUDDERSFIELD TOWN DISABLED MEETING WHO KINDLY SIGNED IT FOR MY HUSBAND.

Exactly what the title says, to find out where your favourites are now and careers inbetween...So much work has gone into producing the book, and is such a credit to the author. Very much appreciated

Great book. Didn't realise how many big names played for town.

A great read for any Town fan & well worth it.

Very informative

Loved it !!!

One of the burgeoning series of “Where Are They Now?” books about footballers, this 224-page A4 paperback book has been thoroughly researched by Lee Morris and fits hand-in-glove with Garth Dykes’ similar tome “Huddersfield Town: A Who’s Who 1909-1961” except that this volume goes beyond the 1961 boundary. I can personally testify to Lee’s dedication to the cause in researching his book as I know that he has conducted many an interview with dozens of Huddersfield Town’s ex-players into the very early hours over a pint or six in the pubs and bars all over the country. He has even had conversations with these players on the way to and at ‘away’ games on matchdays! A studious approach to detail is evident; player information includes “Town Years”, birth and death (where applicable), playing career and then a brief synopsis of his playing and/or managing/coaching time with HTAFC together with any relevant anecdotes and then his later career path. There is a limited number of photographs and several of these feature more recent pictures of the players which certainly don’t act as an aid to identification!It’s an excellent read. It’s not a book to sit down and read cover to cover; rather it’s one to dip into, arranged as it is in alphabetical order. So think of your favourite Town players and then flick through the pages to find the “goss” on what they’re doing these days – well, up until 2019 anyway! It might also be worth counting just how many players “fell out of favour with [manager} Peter Jackson“; how many others wound up as postmen (nice job if you can get it – it certainly stops you from just wandering the streets all day!); find your own personal laugh out loud moment as I did when discovering the reason for Rob Page’s ignominious sacking at Northampton in January 2017.Other than the odd typographical error, I only found one contentious issue with the book – Leigh Richmond Roose is inexplicably indexed by his middle name which was not part of his surname. Other than that it seems a bargain at the asking price of £9.99 and I’m sure that if you look hard enough you’ll find it even cheaper. Of course, one does need to be aware that books like this are only up to date when they are published so don’t be surprised if one day in the near future one of these players – or even one of the current crop! – winds up delivering your post, selling you insurance, serving you a pint or emptying your dustbins!
