Following some technical and administrative problems with my 0345 contact number I have used since 2015, I have had to change my contact number.
From mid-November 2023 if you wish to discuss a talk / booking, please call me on my mobile 07963 345956. Alternatively you can use the form on the ‘Contact’ page.
I have started researching men who played for Football League Club Blackburn Rovers ready for a new book entitled ‘ Rovers in Uniform’.
So far, I have found over eighty who served in the First World War, fifty plus in World War Two and ten who did National Service (post-WW2 up to 1961).
I have yet to find a Publisher, so no firm date for publication.
I first watched Blackburn Rovers back in 1961 and have been working on the ‘Rovers in Uniform’ history project since May 2022.
During the summer I was approached by the Rovers Supporters Trust, ‘We are THE Rovers’, to join their Board leading on heritage issues.
I have been busy within the group and have written a number of heritage articles for the new website www.roverstrust.co.uk, due to go live in December.
Men’s health and wellbeing is a subject close to home and I have been helping the local Sporting Memories Network group which meets every Wednesday at Chorley Football Club and on Monday’s at the Lancashire F.A. Headquarters in Leyland.
I did my talk “Rovers in Uniform” for the Leyland group in November 2023.
The charity aims to engage men in particular using their strapline “Wellbeing through reminiscence”.
