I've read it and though it is not well-written, the chapter on us was okay- mentions that the spirit of that Town side he had was like nothing else he experienced in his career.
2009 seems to be the publication date, so alas did not cover his eventful time at Ilkeston.
These go to eleven.

Paul's a decent bloke.

Perhaps too decent though, in that he seems inordinately fair to even those that dumped on him.

Of whom there've been a few.

His time at Town was probably the most successful and enjoyable of his career yet, again, there's little or no rancour regarding the manner of his exit.

Norton Lea unceremoniously clearing him out in an all too matter-of-fact kinda way.

Some might see a few parallels between how himself and Sir Jack were treated when managing Mansfield and CFC towards non league football, too.

Either way I'm happy to loan my copy to anyone interested - just gi's a shout.
