The History of Ash United Football Club by George G Blundell

This fascinating book is the easy-to-read story of the club from its beginnings in 1911. There are 36 pages with 55 illustrations (6 of them in colour). The image above shows Ash United at “The Common” in the late 1930s, with Mr Steeds on the left. Mr. John A. Steeds was Headmaster at Heathcote School from 1919-1935. He died in 1939, and he was “especially remembered because of his great love of sport and games, not only in the school but in the village”.  The book £4.95.
