For all those people now faced with the prospect of self isolating for weeks, even months and wondering how to pass the time, may I suggest something to do that can be very interesting, enjoyable and cheap.
I am the author of six novels all based loosely on my own life, growing up in Eccleston, going to Knowsley Road school and Prescot Grammar, working at BICC at Prescot before moving to London in 1965 and later working for over 25 years at firms in West Yorkshire as an electrical draughtsman until I retired, and through all that time continuing to remain a Saints fan.

Aware of the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller", in 1988 I started writing a novel based loosely on my own life and have now written another five.
Many people that I talk to, tell me that they could also write a book based on their own life but then hasten to add that they wouldn't even know how to start it.
I am now just about to produce an A4 sheet that introduces any intending author to what I call "Geoff's Platform". Contact me with your E Mail address and I'll send you a copy. My E Mail address is on my web site at http://www.geofflee.net.

Can I also suggest that you if you just want to read a local novel in which the two main characters are both Saints fans then purchase a copy of my latest novel "Three Good Years". It is set between 2006 and 2008 with a background of work, family life, saving the NHS and Rugby League and available from my publisher London League Publications.
