Phil Dwyer autobiography out Sept/Oct

I have been looking for a new Cardiff City related book to read and I nearly wet my pants on seeing Mr. Cardiff City Phil Dwyer would be releasing his autobiography. It must surely be necessary read and for anyone interested in the history of Cardiff City. WH Smith have a released of 17th Oct 2011 the best early deal I have found is with the Book Depository who are offering 25% off the £16.99 RRP price. Defender Dwyer holds the record for the most games play 471 with 41 games which will never be beaten in today's football. He nearly die for club and was attacked on the pitch by an irate Millwall fan. In the Daily Mirror a number of years ago he said about the incident in his words,

"We'd gone to Millwall in the late 70s. I remember the ball came across and I made sure their keeper Nicky Johns was not going to get it - I laid him out cold.

"It was at the Millwall end and they were calling for my blood. I thought I'd better play dead on the ground, but as I got up this big skinhead came charging towards me.

"He took an almighty swing, but he only caught me on the side of the head. I swear if he had connected I'd still be in orbit now!"

He is one of my football heroes at Cardiff City and he gave me one of those never to forget moments that all fans have at Derby in 83/84. We had not won away from home and by December fans where down hearted. The previous fixture before Christmas we were trounced 5-2 at Sheffield Wednesday with just over a 100 Cardiff city fans on the terrace and a few more in the stand. Next a home game against a dying Swansea relegated from the First Division (Premiership) and going into the game bottom of the table and in free-fall. It was a Boxing Day 3-2 victory to see them on their way to relegation.

The next day it was a trip Derby a point ahead of us in 15in the league table, but our dismal away record was against us, but there was a good turnout of fans for the trip. Has I remember it the game was at 2-2 and up stepped big Phil Dwyer got the third with Cardiff fans going crazy with Dwyer on the fence egging them on. Cardiff fans left the ground with the air full of the chant 'jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way oh what fun it is to see City win away.'

I honestly cannot with for the book to come out

The author said on the Cardiff City Forum

The book covers all of Phil's highs and lows playing for his boyhood team, from breaking into the team under Jimmy Scoular, playing in the promotion winning team of Alston and Evans, the antics of Robin Friday, almost dying on the pitch against Gillingham, his call up for Wales, being released and resigned by Len Ashurst, and the dark days under Alan Durban. The book also covers his time working as a police officer and of course how his career came to an end after being arrested for drink driving whilst in a police car!
