| Quote ="Mild Rover"It won't be on the scale of Sean Long's (who is famous enough to be on Question of sport!), with serializations in national papers. Or Barry McDermott's or Jamie Peacock's for that matter. But the target audience you describe isn't too different from Stanley Gene's. There is a lot of goodwill towards Gene, and he did have a remarkable story to tell spanning two cultures. On the other hand, I reckon morbid curiosity sells pretty well and there is definately a story to tell.
He should do it soon, probably when the statute of limitations on his Hull to Rovers legal stuff passes. Lee Jackson, for example, had probably been off the RL stage a bit too long when he published. Cooke's could actually be a decent book if they get a good writer and do it warts and all.'"
I'd certainly buy the book - then the gratitude I reluctantly owe for the 2005 CC try will be repaid. He should do it soon, though. Out of city, out of mind, and all that. Would the legal challenge Hull could drop on him prevent this, though, until that deadline has passed?

Yeah I'd have thought so really, remember him saying before that he really couldn't tell the full and/or real story until everything was sorted out. Until the case is declared 100% closed you'd therefore think he still can't.

No, simply dividing his much publicised salary by the number of months in a year

That said I think the book would only become reality when the impending court action by FC ruins out of time!

That shouldn't stop him telling the story (though he'll have to be careful), whereas the risk of predujicing a civil court case that everybody knows isn't going to happen, does.

I wouldn't buy it. If someone offered to lend me it then I would probably read it but I certainly wouldn't give him any money.

If he's got a move to wakey, then obviously them. He'll want to play in the playoffs wont he, so those two points could be invaluable.

| Looks like the rumours of Brough coming here are going to fade very quickly. Wakey have said they're in negotiations with Hudds about releasing him now after reaching an impasse on his contract.
Suppose we can now look forward to having to play against Danny in the first round of the cup now...
