Last night Glory co-hosted it's first ever book launch at @TheVolleyLondon, to celebrate fifty years since @admiral1914 pioneered the replica shirt market.
A year in the making, the book was incredibly well received by over 150 attendees who also witnessed a Q&A expertly hosted by Sky Sports' @HayleyMcQueen , featuring Admiral's Theo Hamburger, @JeanMWilliams @ProfGroves and illustrator-extraordinaire @TrueColoursKits. We even had a few football-mad musicians attend including those from @the1975, @royalblooduk, @bastille and @youmeatsix.
Huge thanks to Charlie Hood and the team at Volley for providing the incredible venue, my partners in crime for this project Rob MacDonald and Adam Bushby at @HalcyonPublish1 , and everyone at Admiral for believing in us. Not to mention all of the countless contributors who were integral in the production of this book.

So much love for Admiral in the room!

Sorry to bang on about this but it’s a story that needs telling and one I’ve been researching and passionate about for many, many years. If you want to help or read my latest labour of love then follow the link: gjfootballarchive.com/2024/0…
