John Trollope: Record Breaker is a full and frank account of John''s life
as player, coach and manager. There are alot of stories to tell...
John Trollope MBE holds a record that is unlikely to be beaten: between
1960 and 1980 he played 770 league games for Swindon Town - a record
number of league appearances for one club. This book tells the remarkable
story, not only of his playing career, but also his subsequent 16 years of
service to the club as manager and coach.
The book has been produced with John Trollope's full cooperation and his
strident views about those he played with and worked with, from Don Rogers
to Glenn Hoddle are given free rein. He tells about his life as a
professional footballer in a game that was very different from the sport
we know today.
Twenty-five years have now passed since John broke his record. This book
is a tribute to a remarkable achievement and an incredible career, and is
sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in John, Swindon Town and the
history of football in this country.
John Trollope: Record Breaker is available now priced at just £16.99. It
can be found at any good
bookshop, or can be ordered direct from the publisher online at
www.breedonbooks.co.uk or by calling 01332 384235.
