Life's a Pitch book by Ian Darler ---- Ian Darler, Head Groundsman at Cambridge United’s Abbey Stadium for 40 years, looks back on an eventful career in his autobiography, Life’s a Pitch: The Groundsman’s Tale From an apprenticeship that kindled his love affair with the turf to welcoming the world’s biggest football club to his stadium.

Discover:
o why Ian is pictured on the book’s front cover in toeless wellies
o the perils of working with high-spirited young footballers
o which manager told him to ignore the pitch and go fishing
o why he spent one day at work just hanging around.

But Ian also talks bravely about the life-threatening incident that plunged him into a very dark place, and sheds light on the reasons why he works tirelessly to raise money for good causes.

Life’s a Pitch is published by sports and special interest publisher G2 Entertainment. Available for £16.99 including 4.00pp

Tom Youngs - What dreams are (not quite) made of -

Here's a quick preview from the man himself: "From Chapter Two, 'The Coldham's Common Lottery' to Chapter 11, 'Small Print, Big Let-Down', the book moves from my first selection for the Cambridge United centre of excellence, aged 10, to my departure to Northampton Town in 2003.
On the way, I discuss:
- being marked by Rio Ferdinand on my youth-team debut in 1996
- benefitting from an administrative error to be given a slightly more generous first professional contract than expected in 1997
- slowly winning over some sceptics on the terraces to eventually establish myself in the first team
- the disappointment of being unable to keep Roy McFarland in his job
- a difficult eight months under John Beck
- the run to the LDV final which gave everybody at least a bit of respite during our trying relegation season
- the contract dispute that led to me making the tough decision to leave the club
- my sadness at parting from the Cambridge fans, and why I rank them as the best I've seen

All of the above are shot through with details of my memories of life in the dressing room and on the pitch at the Abbey, and then the following chapters move on to my time at Northampton, Leyton Orient, Bury and beyond, eventually coming to my diagnosis and the uncertainties of the future"

The price £18.99 includes post & packing

How I started collecting club badges - Ralph White-Robinson

21/9/2020

Ralph White-Robinson has been collecting club badges since the U's beat Margate to win the league way back in 1970.

Ralph's mother introduced him to the Abbey Stadium. His grandfather with the same name, had a grocer's shop on the corner of Leek Street and Newmarket Road and his mum who was a real sports fan, including football, so on occasionally take Ralph to a match

As a teenager he watched the matches with his friend Peter Woor. They were both apprentices at Heffer's printers attending matches regularly at home. Unable at the time to afford to go to away games.


Charles Heffer was a director of the Us at the time and Heffers printed the match programmes.

He thought it would be good to collect club badges for all the teams in that league.

Below are a selection of the badges Ralph collected from that period and some others from over the years
