Well now his exploits have been compiled into a nicely finished blue and white book. It’s broken records for publishers the Parrs Wood Press, who had to reprint even before the release date, and even made top spot in Amazon’s pre-order charts.
Simon Garner himself has been signing copies, and even broke the signing-session record for Blackburn’s WH Smiths when he scribbled his name on 370 books. I’m not exactly sure how those records work, but it means it was officially lots better than that time Alan Shearer stopped by.

To read about his affectionate recollections of his stay at the Chairboys under Martin O’Neill …and lesser affectionate memories of Alan Smith (say no more) visit the great man’s website.
