Dead Star Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Was reading the "Saturday is Service Day" thread, and was wondering if theres any books on the history of our club going about? Can't seem to see any on the club shop website, or on ebay. If anyone has any their not wanting I'll gladly take it off their hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numpty Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Also the more recent "Motherwell FC - On This Day", available from the club shop. Not exactly a book about MFC's history, but covers many parts of it nonetheless... http://www.motherwelldirect.co.uk/acatalog/BOOKS.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ped_MFC Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 A wee search on amazon shows a few books about the 'Well though some of them are second hand only and a bit pricey at that. At least it'll give the ISBN's List Also looks like there's a follow up to the new Derek Wilson one New book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bones Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 The Book Depository is cheaper and has free postage worldwide. Although it does have a smaller range. Only two books listed after a "Motherwell FC" search. Amazon is rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shallow Dave Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I can add 'WELL WORTH THE WAIT- The Story of Motherwell's Epic Cup Triumph again by John Swinburne ISBN 1 85158 447 1 £6.99 at the time; guess the year......only joking.

WellAyrshire Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 the only bad thing about 'well worth the wait' was the full cup final not being covered minute by minute for the full match. Please John, bring out the extended version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian St.John's of course (available in club shop), and Peter Marinello's "Fallen Idle" are two that spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
