Peter Fox - The players coach, published by llp is a good read, especially for Peters view of the club pre RSL days and John Hamers character reference
Quotebullsfan="bullsfan"Barrie McDermotts, book is a cracking good read,Big JT + Mo bull ive got that book hope its as good as the man him self. Joey Johns book is pretty good as he hate the public persona of himself.'"
Barrie mac was always someone for Bullsfans to hate but I've got to agree about the book. It's a good read and shows him in a different light.
Quotenorthern4eva="northern4eva"have read jamie peacock and trevor foster's books
is there any decent reads on bradford northern / bulls out there?'"
Why not get yourself down the Central Library- fifth floor (local history.) Several books on the Bulls/Northern there, and you can borrow them? Other rugby books in the sports section (second or third floor- can’t remember which.)
I had a quick flick through 'Coming Clean' by Terry Newton yesterday afternoon and it's a real good read. Only read the chapters about his time with Bradford (and his short spell at Wakefield) but it really does hit home how much getting caught out ruined his life.
