Chris Darlington's new book traces the history of Runcorn's Football Club, from its formation and the purchase of the Canal Street ground, through the history surrounding the matches played there, including the notorious 'Hole-in-the-net' incident, right up to the demise of the Club's days at Canal Street when the ground was sold off to a housing developer.
There are anecdotes and stories a-plenty in this little book, and it makes a great stocking-filler for anyone interested in the game, but especially for the thousands of Runcornians for whom no Season was complete without following the Yellow & Green exploits of their home team. Read about the time that they beat Manchester United! Even my younger stepson who is a great Manchester United fan didn't know about it, neither did he believe it until I showed him the proof.
You can get the book from the Curiosity Bookshop in Runcorn, or from the Runcorn Linnet's website.
