Irvine's at the Turf tonight

The book tells the story of his life, and not just his time as a Claret. You can read of his life as a youngster in Northern Ireland, one of eighteen children, and without his dad who was tragically killed.

There’s his time in football, with Preston, Brighton and Halifax as well as Burnley, and not forgetting his international career with the Irish, and then his difficult period after football. It is a riveting read.

Just call in at the club shop and Willie and his friends will be more than happy to sign your book, and I’m sure they’ll also be able to tell you about a few goals.
