Striker by Jeff Astle

We read and rated it 4/5 ^^ Still as brutally honest today as when I first read it 35 years ago. Statements like "The only kind of football I'm interested in is the kind that brings me financial reward. I wouldn't walk to the bottom of the garden to play for nothing" left a 12 year old feeling extremely disillusioned with his hero's views at the time. Goodreads

What is ‘Hand in Glove’?

Hand in Glove is an on-line magazine, It is a scrapbook of nostalgic memories and artefacts, a sound board to voice our anger against anything that irritates or annoys us, a vehicle to showcase the talent that is inherent in us all.

It is unashamedly biased towards bands, artists, football teams, culture, emotions and ideas that have shaped the people we have evolved into, and will continue to change by the volatile and dynamic environment in which we are ensconced.

Hand in Glove is currently in an embryonic state and unsure of it's future direction at this moment in time...

None of the above is is set in stone...
