The first time I watched Runcorn FC, I was seven year old boy. My Dad had just beaten the ‘bookie’ with a ‘Six Penny accumulator’ and won over £11 on the horses! He took us to Canal Street to watch Runcorn FC in the winter of 1964.
I didn’t know then that standing on the Popular Side would change my life forever. I would end up writing a book about my home town club - Runcorn FC, called “Gone But Not Forgotten.”
So, after two years and lots of hard work researching and writing the book against the odds, I have had no funding at all to do this project.
I’m asking all football fans and ex-players, or anybody who can help me fulfil this life long dream, to sponsor this book.
The reason I am writing the book is so that our club’s wonderful history, will be remembered for generations to come.
I have interviewed ex-players, managers and life-long fans, including relatives of the famous 1939 team. I have collected together dozens of photographs, some even go back to the very beginning of Runcorn FC in 1918.
I am hoping that local companies will see that that this project is worth while, and sponsor the printing costs to make this dream become a reality.
If you would like to be one my top twenty sponsors - because that’s all it would take - to make this book something we could all be proud of, please do not hesitate to contact me!
A donation from every sale of the book will be given to aid ‘The New Ground Fund’ for Runcorn
