Yes, Fulham's own David Hamilton has been busy on a book about his life as a Fulham supporter. A Fulhamish Tale is his own real-life Fulham story - from supporting the club as a boy, to becoming a director of the club, right up to his time as the club's famed matchday announcer.
A Fulhamish Tale is an affectionate look at our club, full of wit and drama and lots of laughs (not all at Les Strong's expense).
Packed with colour pictures, including many from David's archive as well as Ashwater's Fulham archive, A Fulhamish Tale is a dazzling tour de force from a master of words.
David's wife is quoted as saying "unputdownable" - and she was definitely referring to the book.

DIDDY! DIDDY! DIDDY!
My day just got brighter.
I'll defo get that.
I reckon Danny Murphy is a dead cert to write a book when he hangs up his boots, if he's not here in some sort of coaching role it'll be a brilliant read.
And just a little reminder for a new supporters or young uns too young to remember, Get Simon Morgans on song for promotion, absolutely superb book, and will give you an insight into what we was like when we were sheeeet.
Ordered David Hamiltons book. Just the sort of thing to fill in the dull Summer Months before it all starts again.

Can't see where 'On Song for Promotion' is being offered on their website - am I missing something?

...dgnffc, 'On Song For Promotion' was just a recommendation by Fat Freddy of another great book relating to Fulham. 'On Song For Promotion' has been out of print for some time and the only way you will get it is via sites similar to Amazon or e-bay, or even checking out in charity shops on the off chance of a copy; the last time I looked they were being sold for upwards of £50.00, but the price fluctuates so look out for a bargain. Good luck in getting a copy, it really is a cracking read...

Ah thanks. That's what I thought was the case, but I read into Banstead White's response that they were available from Ashwater Press. My mistake. As you say, they're a bit out of my price range on Amazon!

Received my copy of David Hamilton's book today.
I've just turned every page and it's a SUPERB production. It is very profusely illustrated with well over 100 (a guess) colour and b&w photos integrated into the text. There are 33 mostly shortish chapters, all looking very inviting to read.
Congratulations to all concerned. This should be a 'sticky' topic.

I was just reading this and thought...I'm sure mine was too, been to check and saw the ditty Simon wrote;
"You're at the Cottage every game
Wether rain or shine
and what I say too one so keen is glory will be mine,
Keep the Faith
Simon Morgan"
Well chuffed that I dug that out again....
Cheers
Very timely... Getting to the end of my current read (Tom Clancy's "Dead or Alive" - it's OK) and was wondering what to get next!
Just ordered it...

Yep me too looks a really good picture dominated book. Looking forward to settle down and reading this tonight.
:bump:
Very good little read with plenty of reminders of the good bad old days. Great pictures and reminders and some nice personal touches from Diddy David. Well worth a look.
