William (Bill) Routledge is about to finally release his new book Northern Monkeys which he describes as A new book tracing the origins of the “casual/dresser” look from post-war youth cults, music explosions, through the terrace fashion revolution of the 1980s … and beyond.
All these stories are told from the original voices of more than 40 upstanding Northerners – and the odd southerner too -ranging from blokes touching seventy years of age, right through the spectrum down to teenagers of today on how they perceive the subcultures/non-cults of 2012.

We met Bill before the home game against Huddersfield last season and he was kind enough to sign a copy of his last book Oh Yes, Oh Yes, We Are The PPS. It`s a great read and we`ll most likely write a review of that later for those of you that haven`t read it already. This upcoming book will make a great christmas gift. We`ll most definitely buy our share.
And Bill, Great looking cover! The Subbuteo referance on the front is priceless. Who ever did that has a pint coming his or her way.
