The new book by Graham Barnstaple, Motherwell Legends is now available from the Club Shop.
Graham follows up the highly successful 'Well Again (written alongside Keith Brown) with Motherwell Legends, which will be in the club shop from Saturday 14th November,and is published by Yore Publications.
This limited edition hardback book celebrates the players who have made an impact on Motherwell FC and its history, or made an impact on the author, who is a lifelong fan.
Players featured in the quality book range from George Robertson, who represented Scotland back in 1910, up to current captain Stephen Craigan, who is the club's most capped player.
It also covers the ‘halcyon' days of the club from the League Champions of 1931/32, Cup winners of the 1950s and the ‘Ancell Babes' through to Tommy McLean's 1991 Scottish Cup winners, and many others in between.
The author, Graham Barnstaple, has been a Motherwell fan for as long as he can remember, attending his first game back in 1963.
Since then he has travelled the length and breadth of the country following the 'Well first as a fan, and now reporting for a number of media outlets.
Graham said: "My own favourite legend in the time I've been following Motherwell is Joe Wark, a player who always gave 100 per cent for the cause and is widely recognised as one of the best left-backs Scotland has ever produced.
"Being a book about legends though, I'm sure other people will have their own favourite and it will hopefully stimulate debate amongst supporters."
Featuring over 80 stars of the past and present, Motherwell Legends is due out on Saturday, November 14, priced at £16.95 and is available from the official club shop in the Davie Cooper Stand at Fir Park., and a number of local bookshops, or direct from Yore Publications.
The initial run of ‘Well Again quickly sold out, but for those still looking for a copy it will be re-published in the near future in a limited edition paper back, more details will be available soon.
