sweetleftpeg 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2006 I've got a fantastic NUFC history book that came out in 1990, it's around the house somewhere, but it's basically the history of NUFC in the style of a comic book. I'm sure it was one of Paul Joannou's. Anyway, it's a great book to give to your young uns if they want to learn the history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
