Dr David Pendleton: Author 'On the Tracks of the Flying Scotsman', available now from all good bookshops ... are there any bad bookshops?

Joined December 2012
On a dark March night, 100 bombers attacked Scarborough. A huge parachute mine landed in North Marine Road, bringing with it death & destruction. A hidden history, one that lies beneath the feet of thousands of cricket fans as they enter @ScarboroCricket

@davidpendleton0 still trying to figure out any info about Fakhri's time at the club.
Masood Fakhri was Pakistani football's first poster boy, played for 2 Kolkata giants before signing for Bradford City in England.

On Remembrance Sunday, here are the stories of two men who should have been on @ScarboroCricket War Memorial; it is hoped that an addenda plaque will be added when the existing memorial is relocated at the ground. #WW1 #Cricket #Scarborough

News that Geoffrey Boycott has been suspended by Scarborough Cricket Club, following allegations that he supplied confidential information to a member who is part of a bid to overthrow the club committee, my post of the club's AGM offers the backdrop. https://t.co/ez0vgNNtus

As we approach Remembrance Sunday, it seemed an appropriate time to rewrite my article on @ScarboroCricket war memorial. I've tried to put it in its context and have expanded some of the stories of the men listed on the memorial. https://t.co/uPsrYzWR4t

Shane Warne may well have been responsible for the 'ball of the century', but his effort didn't land in another country! The strange tale of a @ScarboroCricket balloon, which became a cricketing message in a bottle. https://t.co/DrRMfnRZMX

I’ve been busy updating the stories of the Scarborough Cricket Club members featured on the club’s recently rediscovered war memorial. Images of the men and their final resting places have been added. Quite a bit more to do as ever! https://t.co/uPsrYzWR4t

Sunny evening in Crown Heights. Home of good beer, good vibes and my daughter Rosie. We toasted Bradford City’s continued reign at the top of the league. #peckedbythechickens #brooklynbantams

Hudson River Derby. New York Red Bulls v New York City FC. My Americans were originally Metrostars fans, so we have to support the Red Bulls.

Fans of Led Zeppelin will recognise these buildings as the cover of the album Physical Graffiti. I used to have the vinyl album. Gave it away years ago … regrets eh #LedZeppelin #NewYork
