If you remember the whole saga at Notts County when they got Sven Göran Eriksson & Sol Campbell, love football or just love the tea ☕️ (my 18yo old niece told me that’s the cool way to say drama now),
You should give this interview with @benrobinsonauthor.bsky.social & me a listen this weekend ⬇️

My next book has landed - Christmas Truce by Mike Hill. It's woven with an amazing array of letters from soldiers who took part in the 1914 ceasefire on the western front. If there is such a thing as true Christmas spirit, it is sure to be captured on the pages of this book.
