My good friend, "Wyart Lane" from "My Eyes Have Seen The Glory" has kindly written this review of the book:-
"Anyone familiar with Paul Smith's eponymous website will be aware of his comprehensive and personal match reporting style. In this published volume of match reports from the website from the 2006-2007 season, he visits all corners of the country (and Europe in some instances) to seek glory with Spurs.
From the journey back in time to Cardiff City to the seat in the roof of the St. James Park stadium, Paul gives a feel for being there. From the short-lived first day of the season optimism at Bolton to the gaining of fifth place in May, Paul presence is recorded for posterity in this volume. The only occasions Paul couldn't be there, able deputies in Declan Mulcahy and Ray Lo fill in the missing details.
As well as the match reports, there are full details of the teams, goals, bookings, etc and there are a few photos in the book to illustrate things. It would have been nice if Paul had a few of his own photos from his trips which could have been included.
This book serves as a reminder of the many miles travelled in supporting Spurs and I know that Paul and Ray also attend many more Spurs games, watching the Reserves and Youth sides, so next time can I ask for some of those reports to be included to give a glimpse of what the future holds for the club and it's supporters ?"
I am afraid to say that there will not be a next time, unless this edition proves viable, so, if you would like to see a second extended edition of the book, please consider making this purchase.
