My Pal Spadger

Bill's reminiscences of his friendship with Spadger in Bolton in the early twenties. Lots of local colour and remembrance of things past: back street football --- with tin can or pig's bladder, the back yard privy, trams, first jobs --- in pit or mill. Comic, tragic, episodic --- some chapters are very short. A useful book which could be much enjoyed, especially by those who relish Goalkeeper's Revenge, Lancashire, football and nostalgia.
