I found his 'From Portokabins to Porto Captains' unreadable, couldn't even finish it...and I will read everything about my beloved Charlton! It even makes the abysmally poxy 'Da Vinci Code' look like Wuthering heights!
Mick Collins on the OS website used to be brilliant. Really liked the way he brought humour into a very bland environment. The book he wrote on Charlton was a huge disappointment, but he has redeemed himself with this book, totally summing up what Roy of the Rivers meant to so many.

Beside Mick was a top gentleman when he used to work for the club, the match previews were genius!
I don't bother reading the OS previews any more, they don't actually seem to have much content.
But Mick Collins' previews were brilliant - some clever prose and an occasional satirical twist.
Definitely missed!
