I have to admit, I'm a fair few chapters in Wilf and you've done a brilliant job. As a fellow Hull FC fan I can relate to so much of it. I'd certainly recommend all fans to purchase a copy, even more so with all profits going to Danny's testimonial.

Buy the book, relive the dream!

Book sales moving towards 200 in the first two week which is a magnificent response from everyone. That makes for around £1200 donated to the Danny Houghton Testimonial Fund already. Thanks to everyone who has bought the book. Let me know what you make of it good or bad and most of all please
