Delighted to confirm that we’re already steaming ahead nicely with the double-header of a Cornish footballers book boost for Cancer Research UK – see blog November 9.
After an all-too-long pause for various reasons beyond our control, I have now resumed regular sessions with Mark “Rappo” Rapsey for his sequel book RAPPO’S WORLD OF FOOTBALL FUN.
And I’ve fixed to meet up with Andy “Sledge” Street, principally ex-Falmouth Town and Newquay, early next month. He’s already sent me a whole stack of raw material which confirms beyond a doubt that we have another belter of a book on our hands.
Here are a few randomly-selected titbits:--
The great beer night that was followed by a tournament triumph the next day!
Sledge’s Gareth Southgate moment when he was “gutted” after missing a vital penalty – but how it made him a stronger person.
Playing 114 times for Cornwall, including captaining them to the County Championship Final . . . and keeping every single selection letter.
Being kicked out of the Cornwall Charity Cup – after beating Wadebridge 9-0!
Travelling the longest-ever recorded FA competition distance.
As for Rappo’s fun, here’s a taster:--
The player (not Rappo!) who paid a prostitute NOT to give him pleasure
The crazy conclusion to a booze-fuelled “rooftop” race across boats in Amsterdam
The hair-raising escapade that produced a bizarre “new signing”
A novel way of ruling the roost with a chicken
How a warped racket AIDED Rappo’s tennis comeback
Finally for now, here’s the first idea for Rappo’s new book cover, created by Colin Pascoe (see that previous blog, November 9):--
Colin will also be designing the cover for Sledge’s book, albeit in more conventional style!
