The Tony Ford Story
The Tony Ford Story - Order At A Discounted Price
Having been in the game since 1974, when he made his debut for Grimsby Town, Tony Ford holds the record for the most appearances of any outfield player in the history of British Football. In a career spanning four decades, his name has become known and revered in towns and cities across England by fans seduced by his skill, professionalism and above all the sheer joy he has taken from the game.
In an era of multi-million pound contracts, flash cars and celebrity lifestyles, Tony's story is that of a man who essentially played football for the love of it. Although he never played at the highest level in the domestic game, he represented his country prior to the 1990 World Cup, winning three caps, and at the turn of the century was awarded an MBE and the PFA Merit award for services to football - tremendous achievements for a working class lad from a tough Grimsby estate.
The Tony Ford story is his authorised biography by football writers Keith Haynes and Phil Sumbler. Published in paperback by Tempus Publishing it is available from early December 2005 at the price of £12.99.

Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.
Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
