In Colours Green and White

[Jonnyboy]

I'm delighted to announce that the second book in my trilogy, In Colours Green and White is on it's way to my publisher's distributors and will very soon be available to buy.

The years from 1967 to 1990 are covered and so famous European victories and a certain New Year Derby feature large.

I've included a link to Amazon although they haven't officially released it for sale yet but it gives some detail of content etc.

Of the three books this was my personal favourite to write as it brings back so many wonderful memories of growing up a Hibee.

Will make a cracking Christmas gift :wink:

:aok: Excellent. Good work sir, I'll be dropping a few hints to ensure this is in my christmas stocking. There is however still that glaring gap on the outside left of my bookcase next to the smith, johnstone, reilly and turnbull bios... :greengrin

Heres a wee question you might be able to answer Jonnyboy. Did John Salton ever play a senior game for Hibs ? I cant find it on record but my mate dug oot an old programme and he was marked in as the no 2. I personally dont think he ever played for Hibs.

To the best of my knowledge he never played a first team competitive game Mick

[Hiber-nation]

Correct according to this http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/player_list_az.php?page=S

I'm sure I saw him play...must have been a reserve game.

Looking forward to the book :aok:

What is the name of the first book, would like to read that before the latest one.

At Easter Road They Play

Covers 1946 - 1966

My mate was adamant he had seen him play for hibs. I kept saying to him i dont think so. Then someone in the Winton arms gave him some old programmes one day and as we were having a quick glance through them, thats when we noticed John Saltons name doon as No2. He must have been close to getting a start in that game. I think he went on to be a bit of a hero at Dunfermline.

Yep, did well for the Pars IIRC :agree:

Would be interested to know the game that programme covers

Nice one.

Couple of question. Do you know when its available to buy?

Also he blurb on amazon and your opening post say from 1967- 1990 but the cover of the book says 1967-1986 Which is it?

And, is there going to be a paperback version and if so when will it be out?

Cheers and good luck with the book.

Oops :blushie: It's 1967 - 1986. Sorry about that :greengrin

Book with distributors I'm told so should become available within the next few working days

I've had no indication that a paperback version is planned

[Carheenlea]

I don`t know about other clubs, but the sheer quantity of Hibernian themed literature is actually pretty remarkable I think, and I`m sure I`m not the only one whose book shelves are starting to sag with the many fine volumes about the club and individual players biography's!
This one in particular should be a real cracker, and one with the years covered that the majority of us on here can really relate to. Will look forward to adding this one to the collection :agree:

It's fantastic having so many Hibs related books, I agree. For years there were only a few.

Agree about the period covered :aok:

Good stuff. I do hope a certain 1st game in Scotland for our new manager is included. Even it is the start of the '86 season.
On my list to Santa.

Good luck with your new release, John - great news.

Some great days in that era to report!

Salton is printed as right-back in the programme for a league match v Partick Thistle on Tuesday, March 13th, 1973.

However, according to Fitbastats, Billy McEwan played at right-back that day.

I can't see that he played a competitive game, signed from Nitten Star in August 1972 leaving in May 1974 for Queen of the South - he may have a record page on neil brown's site.

Anyway... good luck with the book John. I look forward to reading it :greengrin

[Beefster]

Congrats JB. Must be some sense of achievement to get something like this completed and see the end result. Hopefully, lots of Hibees either buy it or find it in their Christmas stocking.

[hibbymick]

:aok: well done guys. I was sure he never played a full game for us. But when someone is adamant they have seen him play a first team game then a programme appears with his name in it:confused: ................................... anyway, i won ma bet :greengrin

Just too late Mick. Book two ends at 85/86 and book three, including that game, covers from 86/87

Good luck with your new release, John - great news.

Thanks Stu. Sounds like a cliche I know but I hope folk enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

I'm delighted to say I received my copies of the book today and am told it is now available on Amazon etc

My copies are not hardback, but softback if that makes sense. The book, 350 pages, has an RRP of £25 but I'm sure most online outlets will offer discounts.

Cheesing :greengrin
