Life’s a Ball 90s - REPLAY
In LAB90s - REPLAY I have included a few images of football fanatics that were not used in the final book edit as well as a small selection of letters and documents sent to me from football supporters all over the UK.(Please Note: Some of the images are photocopied scans of the prints) I will add more if I find anymore)
A copy of the orginal Introduction to Life’s a Ball was written by actor and tv presenter Nick Hancock for the first version of the book that was due to be published by Michael Jospeh/Penguin in 1996.
