Two Brothers - Jonathan Wilson's book on the Charlton's. As always, the social context around the footballing events in the book are well researched and always more interesting than the football parts. Busby isn't painted in the best light, with even Bobby being critical of him as he got older. There are massive gaps in the timeline though but that can be expected with the lack of activity after Bobby's playing days and Jack managing us. 7/10.
Gaffs - Rory Hearne. Timeline of how the housing crisis has been created and developed. The detail from roughly 2005 - 2020 and how it has lead to the current crisis is excellent. It's slightly repetitive in places but that's to be expected. 8/10.

Just read ‘ The Paper Man’ by an Irish Author Billy O’ Callaghan about an Austrian footballer who played for the Wunderteam in the 1930’s. He refused to play for Germany after they annexed Austria. Really good read. Had never heard of this guy. Seemed he was a 1930’s Messi type of player.

The bit about his mothers imagining of the sexual activities between Sherlock Holmes and Watson was hilarious.

Reading 1923 by Mark Jones at the min, documenting the year running up to Hitler's failed coup. I had absolutely no idea the extent of the French occupation of the Ruhr that year, it's mad stuff in supposed peacetime

I've started using the library service again. Albeit outside of Ireland, but they are brilliant resources.

It would damage this forums' reputation
