clive_w_nicholson Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi, I've dropped posts here a couple of times, but not in a while and there are always new members joining who may know something new. Fred Spiksley's biography is currently being written by my father and myself. So far it's 15 years of research in the making. You can find out more about him on the wikipedia page I've been editing and also watch a video of him as a football coach in 1931. Obviously Fred is one of Sheffield Wednesday's greatest players, and some would consider him to be the greatest. There are many stories available about Fred in books and I have all of these. I am the only person who actually owns a copy of his autobiography (it took some finding!). But I am always on the look out for new stories, the ones that people tell but don't record. So if you have heard of anything connected to Ferd than please drop me a message on here. I hope too, that some of you will be interested in purchasing a copy of the book, when it is finally published. Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_w_nicholson Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Cheers for the Jimmy Seen cartoon. I've only ever seen it as a black line drawing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to confess that I did the colouring myself --hope to hear more of your progress on the book. From what I remember (you once wrote to me about it), you seem to have been working on it a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
