Make My Dream Come True.

2:48pm Sunday 13th April 2008

The first time I watched Runcorn FC, I was seven year old boy. My Dad had just beaten the bookie' with a Six Penny accumulator' and won over £11 on the horses! He took us to Canal Street to watch Runcorn FC in the winter of 1964.

I didn't know then that standing on the Popular Side would change my life forever. I would end up writing a book about my home town club - Runcorn FC, called "Gone But Not Forgotten."

So, after two years and lots of hard work researching and writing the book against the odds, I have had no funding at all to do this project.

I'm asking all football fans and ex-players, or anybody who can help me fulfil this life long dream, to sponsor this book.

The reason I am writing the book is so that our club's wonderful history, will be remembered for generations to come.

I have interviewed ex-players, managers and life-long fans, including relatives of the famous 1939 team. I have collected together dozens of photographs, some even go back to the very beginning of Runcorn FC in 1918.

I am hoping that local companies will see that that this project is worth while, and sponsor the printing costs to make this dream become a reality.

If you would like to be one my top twenty sponsors - because that's all it would take - to make this book something we could all be proud of, please do not hesitate to contact me!

A donation from every sale of the book will be given to aid The New Ground Fund' for Runcorn
