{"product_id":"ron-reynolds-book-dave-bowler-9780752859996","title":"Ron Reynolds","description":"Ron Reynolds was the Spurs goalkeeper for most of the 1950s. (He also played for Southampton and Aldershot in a career spanning twenty years and 291 League games.) He died on his 71st birthday (2nd June 1999), and upon clearing out his house his family discovered a meticulously kept archive of Reynolds professional career - cupboards, shoeboxes and carrier bags full of notebooks, programmes, ticket stubs, press cuttings, photographs, souvenirs from foreign tours, and Reynolds' own match reports of all his games. Taken as a whole, the collection offers a fascinating insight into the life of a professional footballer half a century ago. Dave Bowler (who conducted lengthy interviews with Reynolds for other book projects before he died) augments the visual material with a written account of Reynolds' life, featuring interviews with many of his contemporaries and also a few with whom he worked and who are still in the game today (Bobby Robson, Don Howe, Malcolm Allison). And Reynolds himself was quite a character - fastidious and outspoken he was a formidable PFA representative and was behind many of the perceived 'insurrections' of his more famous soul mate Danny Blanchflower, with whom he shared a passion for the glory of the game.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537257832721,"sku":"GOR002106512","price":21.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0752859994.jpg?v=1751438867","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/ron-reynolds-book-dave-bowler-9780752859996","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
