Description

Of Amos, `Erbert and Friends; Flying High with Huddersfield Town is a book in which the author combines the fiction of conversation with historical factsto provide a fan's eye view of a remarkable football club.

It begins with the founding of Huddersfield Town in 1908, and its brave survival in a rugby league stronghold(despite the dastardly endeavours of Leeds United to close the club down via what was close to being association football's first ever franchise deal).

It describes the club's halcyon years between the two World Wars; twenty years in which Huddersfield Town were `Thrice Champions' of the Football League, runners up for the title on three occasions, won the FA Cup and appeared in a total of five finals; a period of success galvanised by football's first ever great manager, Herbert Chapman, and overseen by the club's visionary chairman, Sir Amos Brook Hirst. The book also deals with some 75 years of post war `Town' history; providing a fan's eye view of various disasters and triumphs; all milestone events in a rollercoaster ride that has recently seen `The Terriers' restored to English football's top flight.
