I'm delighted to announce my book is now available to purchase on Amazon in both paperback and kindle editions.

This is what has taking over my life for the last 2 years....

How would you celebrate a significant birthday? Host a massive party? Travel abroad on a luxurious holiday? Cross something off your bucket list? Well how about something a bit different, like marking your 50th birthday by incorporating your favourite hobby with a common thread over the previous five decades. In 2015 Shaun Smith set upon his first of many trips from Tyneside to Scotland, visiting the clubs which have won the prestigious Scottish Junior Cup during his lifetime, a trophy which has been contested for since 1887 and is affectionately known as “The Holy Grail of Scottish football” The author reviews the history of each club, exploring the old pit villages, satellite towns and industrial areas from where they are based. The book look at his matchday ritual, OCD collecting, his musical passion and is semi-autobiographical, with links to his past as a long suffering Newcastle United fan. So follow Shaun’s progress of visiting 22 grounds in 22 months as he heads north of the border from the Toon to the Joons on the trail of the Scottish Holy Grail.

Please buy it ... ;-)   https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1542978165/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1487360126&sr=1-1

I'll be ordering a copy, it will find a place on my bookshelf alongside "The Thistle and the Grail" by Robin Jenkins, the story of an obscure junior club who rise up from nowhere to win the Scottish cup.

Inspired by Rob Roy perhaps?

Didn't know about this one. Will be getting it as well.

Its fiction of course, just like Rob Roys' chances, but Robin Jenkins is a well known author and it is a good read.

No idea if it is still in print but you might find a secondhand copy on fleabay.
