Today we reached 400 pre-orders and are now confident that the two charities will benefit from these book sales. Mark Crook played a huge part in Wolves mid-20th century history. Secure yours at a £7 discount before the price increase (when the books land in the outlets). tinyurl.com/crookwwfc

Wolves benefitted from Mark Crook with 39 players (12 of these during WW2).

The jewel in the Wath Wanderers crown was Ron Flowers. He lost his front two teeth playing for Mark Crook. Ron was one of many sons of Yorkshire miners to play at Molineux. Read about this operation in 'Feeding the Wolves' - the charity book, out next month. Secure your copy at tinyurl.com/crookwwfc or at the Ron Flowers shop.

Yesterday, 53 pre-ordered books were delivered to the Ron Flowers Shop, then 20 to Waterstones (Wolverhampton).
As it was match day, I based in the Great Western for a couple of hours and Odin was the first to buy a book directly! No doubt it will go in his Wolves museum in Norway.
Daventry Dun Cow's SC were very welcoming, as well as the London Wolves in the Lich Gate.
John Golding kindly invited me to the match v MUFC.
