[cite]Posted By: incorruptible addick[/cite]Thanks, all is clear now regarding Sir Jimmy Seed's literary outpourings.
What I am holding in my hand is ''Soccer From The Inside'' by - as the original dust jacket delightfully puts it - ''Jimmy Seed, Ex-International Player & Successful Club Manager'', published in 1947.
Parts of this, it seems, were reworked and expanded with new and updated material as ''The Jimmy Seed Story'' a decade later (Soccer From The Inside only has 112 pages, and looks very much like a product of a publishing industry still recovering from paper rationing). Don't have a copy of the '57 book and would offer good money for one if anyone has one they are prepared to sell...
Interesting, Incorruptible. I hadn't heard of the 1947 published "Soccer from the Inside".
My 1957 copy of "The Jimmy Seed Story", contains 128 pages and some B/W photos.
I picked it up secondhand about 1978. I couldn't sell it though, just couldn't.
Oggy, was my memory right about the unhappiness of his departure? He was too old school to vent his true feelings but the impression is of a man who felt he had been treated with the loyalty he might have expected.

Thanks for the patronizing post "mate" - I don't think I am "incredibly naive" but nor am I so ill mannered that I would go around casting aspersions about people I don't know.
Regardless, it looks like they DO know each other.....
I would be interested to know how they do know each other, they don't have a single club in common and have never even been in the same city at the same time.
Sorry grumps, just thought that was common knowledge that football's a pretty small world. I know a few non league footballers that are on first name terms with a few premier league stars for example.

Is there an app I'm missing out on?
There must be, he's onto every mention of Mr. C within about five minutes.
