I have just been discussing possible future books with the sports editor at Tempus. One idea we came up with was a book on classic matches. Not just factual reports but fans' memories of "The best match I ever saw" type of thing and what made it a classic. I know we've done this sort of thing before on the Forum, but we thought it would make a good book. The obvious candidate for such a book is the 1981 World Final, whereas my own Classic Match of all time, for example, was the Wimbledon West Ham 1965 Knock Out Cup encounter. I may need to include some early matches that no-one on here will remember for completeness, but generally the idea, as I say, would be to get a fans' view. I would compile and edit the book.
Firstly, what do you think of the idea? Secondly, if the idea finds favour, what matches would you want to include and would you be willing to add your memories?
As we are looking for a lot of help from Forum members we thought that proceeds from the book could go to the Forum itself and FAST.
