Folklore and Fables II - An alternative look at Sheffield United

[stringer]

Compiled by SUFC club historian and liaison officer, John Garrett, Folklore and Fables is the second compendium of John's popular articles in United's matchday programme. This hardback book is a greatest hits collection of 50 articles from over the years, all in John's inimitable style and littered with tales of family history, music, holidays abroad, club legends and, rather occasionally, football...
JG is doing a signing at the Blades Superstore on November 7, 6pm-7.30pm, and the book is on sale now (rrp £14.99).

In JG's own words: "The book is also hardback, so, if you don’t like it, it makes a handy doorstopper - or is ideal for popping under the back wheels of your car when it’s parked up, if the handbrake isn’t working properly!"

I’ve heard the pigs are also bringing a similar title out. It’s basically a serialisation of porktalk since its inception.

Piece on the OS

Folklore and Fables II - the sequel

They did it with Jaws, they did it with The Godfather... unfortunately they also did it with Death Wish, but then that's another story! Folklore and Fables Part Two is the new book from Sheffield United's supporter liaison officer and heritage manager John Garrett.

Cancelled due to rain? Launching it at the Rustadome was he?

I parked my car on Spital Hill last night correctly fitting an advance copy of this book under the rear wheel as instructed by the author. This morning I found the car at the bottom of the hill near where Dewires used to be. It had hit three cars and a sidecar on the way down causing over £30 damage. Do I claim against the author or publisher please?

Read this on holiday. Absolutely loved it, it is a great read for any Blade. I am a similar age to JG and we have had so many similar highs and lows!

Thanks John your book and cycling SA Calobra were the two high points of my trip.

Hmmmm...could it be that stringer and John Garrett are one and the same. All signs point to yes.

You’re pretty wide of the mark there my friend

Is this the guy who does the videos for the Blades? He looks at the game we are playing and the history and links to the particular clubs.
Saw him in the Red Deer on Thursday and said hello. He didn't realise he was talking to Mick Jones.
