Thanks, Richard!
Thousands of fans who watched @AVFCOfficial in the 1990s owe a debt of gratitude to this man. Without him, we would never have got to see so much of @Paulmcgrath5. @robbishopavfc has done a great job in telling his story. @CurtisSport

Many thanks for your kind words, Ivan. Better still - all the profits will be donated to dementia charities.
Jim Walker was an ever present in my formative Villa years so just loved his book out now on @CurtisSport. So much humour but balanced with seriousness in which he accepted responsibility of his role. Testimonials of former #AVFC players absolutely bear this out @robbishopavfc

What an accolade! And Richard is also a contributor to the @AVFCOfficial official programme.
“The best cricket book I have ever read.” Just had sight of Douglas Miller’s extraordinary review of Victory in Australia in the latest @ACScricket Journal. A touching moment. @BloomsburySport @DLuxAssociates
