Jamie Bloem : Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:11 am  

"Jamie Bloem was never far from the headlines be it for drug taking, an accusation of biting Lee Briers, charges of abusing referees, declining pay cuts or even sometimes for scoring spectacular tries or kicking touchlines goals.
In this authorised biography, he lifts the lid on everything that has happened to him, giving a frank account of when he was in the wrong and when he was not."

This quote is taken from the cover of his biography which has been written by Andrew Hardcastle, the club historian and timekeeper.

Titled "In Full Bloem Jamie Bloem - Rugby Footballer" it has just been published by London League Publications and is now on sale as a hardback in WH Smith.

When I handed my copy to him to sign, he dropped it.


Seriously, I like Jamie and hope it does well.
As soon as it is available on Kindle or Apple I shall buy it.

There are also a few in Wade's bookshop on Rawson Street. But we don't want to detract too much from the March 6th official book launch at The Shay, when supporters can get a signed copy and listen to Jamie talking about its contents.

For those who don't want to wait, I'll have a few copies with me at Sunday's match.

I love Fred Wade's bookshop, I remember going in there as a kid, it was like a treasure trove of good books.
Unfortunately my job sent me away from Halifax for 24 years (hardly missed a game home or away) and when I returned home I was pleased to see Fred Wade still open.
Long may it continue.
