It's a great book.

Wow what a Rum bugger he was, like a kind of mix between George Best, Keith Moon and Begbie. Loved the Lawrenson story hope that was true.

On Trundle, he was the last Wrexham player I can remember that I actually looked forward to seeing play, wondering what magic he was going to come up with. I'd put Bennett, Connolly, Carlos and Ferguson in the same bracket but for different qualities.

We went 0 - 1 down in the first half to a Kevin Campbell strike at the Tech End.

Second half we pressed Everton very hard for an equaliser - the closest we came was a thunderbolt of a shot from about 30 yards by Trundle that hit the bar - if only that had gone in.

Alas the game will be remembered for something entirely different - Wayne Rooney came on as a very late sub and scored his first ever two goals, the game finished 0 - 3.

Trundle had magic feet and close control - still say his overhead kick after controlling the ball on his chest with back to goal at Walsall would take some beating - mainly because I was right behind the net in the away stand at the Bescott (the game we were 2 - 0 down and came back to win 2 - 3).
