Book of prank letters to football clubs - supporting Wee Oscar


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I wanted to let you know that my book of prank letters to football clubs is now available at http://www.eatthebreed.bigcartel.com priced £6.99, with £1 of every sale going to charity.

There are four Scottish Premiership clubs featured in the book: Aberdeen, Dundee United, Celtic and Dundee. There are many other Scottish clubs involved, including Hearts, Hibs, Rangers, Morton, Dumbarton, Livingston, Stenhousemuir, Ayr Utd etc, as well as many from England - such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, West Ham, Exeter City, Barnsley, Peterborough, York City, Lincoln City and Doncaster Rovers etc.

I am supporting three amazing charities through sales of the book - Tartan Army Children's Charity, the Oscar Knox Appeal, and the Adam Stansfield Foundation (set up in memory of the Exeter City player whose spoof portrait I painted for the book who tragically passed away just seven months after signing his portrait).

You can see excerpts from the book here: http://frasersyme.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/excerpts-from-the-book/

Here's the cover of the book:

There are also a number of 1986 Panini stickers throughout the book, such as Rangers, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Hibs, and the Clydebank one below:

The charities involved and I would really appreciate your support with the book and thanks very much for reading.

Cheers

Fraser

The word British enrages people on here but I'll happily buy your book.

IN red and white letters!

Disgrace!

Im_Rodger & SPL Superstar - Many thanks for pointing out the error of my ways. When an Aberdeen fan objects to red and white lettering then you realise you have committed a faux pas of Prince Philip (poor choice of name in the circumstances perhaps) proportions!

What I promise to do then if you guys support the book and I am required to print a second edition is give the book the following title: 'My Book of Absurd Letters to Scottish, English and Welsh Football Clubs.' All lettering will be blue and white except for 'English' which will be a sort of jobby brown.

Golden Shower Winner - I firmly believe that everyone of a particular age has a specific Jim Gallagher memory. I remember him playing in one of the first games I ever attended and thinking 'why is a 63 year old man playing in goal today - might he not be in danger of hurting himself when he dives/falls/picks the ball out of the net?' Balds just look so much better these days (and I say that as a bald before balds jump in)...

Surely the most absurd letter ever sent to a football club was the one sent to St Mirren by Eric Djemba Djemba's agent - saying he had an English Premier League and ex-Manchester United superstar willing to move to Paisley and wear a bunnet for a couple of weeks.

Is it in your book?

Well we were told there was some young Nigerian stars available. :unsure:

Don't think it was an agent that tried to sell him in. It was the manager of TK Maxx in Linwood (Paisley) that had taken in a rather large order of bunnets and need shot of them quick sharp.

Hooked in an unemployed African and another local business and 'bobs yer uncle'.
