Former Imp Neil Redfearn has re-released his autobiography following the completion of 1000 matches at various levels. The book was originally released last year, but earlier this year completed the 1000 game milestone by representing Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Trophy.

Redfearn, who represented the Imps between 1984 and 1986, has had a glorious 26 year career, right from the days of being a trainee at Nottingham Forest, to playing in the lower reaches of the non-league. It was a career that saw him experience the joys of helping Barnsley reach the Premiership (along with current Imps Nicky Eaden and Adie Moses), and experience the lows of getting relegated with Halifax to the Conference back in 2001/2.

He is the second ex-Imp in a year to release a book in a year, following on from former striker and manager, Phil Stant releasing "Oh Ahh Stantona"

The synopsis of "There's Only One Neil Redfearn" is :

"Neil Redfearn is a man dedicated to - some might say obsessed by - football. He's just about the last of the generation of players who began near the bottom, made it to the top and then moved back down the ladder again. He has seen promotion to the Premiership (with Barnsley and Oldham) and relegation from the Football League (with Halifax); made over 1000 senior appearances over a quarter of a century and scored just short of 200 goals. He talks about the managers he has played for - including Brian Clough, Alan Curbishley and Joe Royle - as well as some he hasn't: Arsene Wenger once described him as the dirtiest player in the Premiership. Still playing past the age of 40 and poised to move into full-time management, Neil Redfearn has a unique perspective on what it's like when football literally becomes your life."

If you're interesting in finding out what he said about Lincoln City, you can purchase the book at any reputable bookshop, or online at Amazon for a special discount price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Theres-Only-One-Neil-Redfearn/dp/0755313771/sr=8-2/qid=1172244407/ref=pd_ka_2/202-7663998-4581464?ie=UTF8&s=books
