Life After Bristol Rovers FC (Life After) (Life After)
What happens to footballers after they wear the blue and white shirt for the last time? Is there really life after Bristol Rovers? Featuring interviews, illustrations and recollections of their playing careers, this book catches up with the Pirates of yesteryear, discovering where they are now. In a project based on his popular 'Memory Lane' column in the "Sunday Independent", Mark Leesdad meets publicans and postmen, football managers and engineers and reminisces about the days when they trod the hallowed turf of Eastville, Twerton Park or The Memorial Ground. Featuring Rovers heroes such as Ian Holloway, Devon White and Alfie Biggs, this book reveals the lives of a fascinating selection of former 'Gasheads'.

An Away Game Every Week: Memories of Bristol Rovers
This book is both his story and the story of a unique football club that has battled against the odds for half a century. From Eastville to Bath and back to Bristol; from the 'no buy, no sell' policy of the 1950s to the days when manager Gerry Francis paid out of his own pocket to sign Ian Holloway; from sharing with greyhound racing and speedway to sharing with rugby; from the days of the maximum players' wage to the Bosman era. Ray, still loved as Bristol's most popular sporting figure, has seen it all at close quarters and is uniquely placed to tell the tale. The result is a book which is more than just a chronicle of one club, it's a journey through the changing world of professional football. It's a chance to share not just the games, but also to meet the people and taste the unique atmosphere of a friendly club that has fought the forces of football finance and survived.
