Perfect holiday reading - thanks @DavidMarples for your unique ability to sum up the feelings of die hard #NFFC fans who have been around the block a few times. We didn’t want that feeling to end at Wembley - much like a good holiday.

Wrote about how seeing my favourite band loads is great, and seeing my favourite band with my daughter is even greater.

RT @Battlemuch4WW: I’m sure this latest book by @DavidMarples will be just as good as his first. I hope he’s already compiling part 3. One…
