Lots of EPo newspaper reports stitched together with badly written text.

Not an easy read, and a real shame that the real essence of RF isn't really captured by such a half-hearted approach.

Partially agree, but there are very few books (if any) written about Royals players.
Those that deserve them, Trevor(god) Senior, Martin Hicks, Gilksy to name a few all of whom played hundreds of games for us didn't generate the press inches that Friday in his short brilliant but wasted career did

We're gonna disagree again Dirk. Well, partially, Not the easiest read, I agree. Like you say it's pretty much a collection of EP reports. However, I think it does capture the spirt of Robin. It's the kind of book he'd like. Disjointed, bit all over the place, bit like him really.

My best memory of Robin is queuing to get into the Town End for a game at about 5 to 3. Robin came running down Norfolk Road with his boots tied around his neck. Yeah, really! He said a cheery "alright boy's" to the queue as he legged it past us to the dressing room. That's how I like to remember him. Just don't get that experience these days.
