SW: To start with a brutally frank question, why should any Lincoln City fan be interested in yet another book? Supporting Lincoln in the 1970’s & 1980’s I spoke to Ian about the forthcoming book, about whether he’s buying lunch when we get together to judge the competition, and about his relationship to Lincoln City down the years. He is also the author of a football memoir, The Quiet Fan, now seeking backers at the crowd-funding publisher Unbound (see below for details on how to pledge for the book, including a 15% discount for Lincoln City fans). The author of a book of short football fiction, For Whom the Ball Rolls, and a history of the (1970s) North American Soccer League, Rock n Roll Soccer, he is currently judging, alongside myself and Alan Johnson, the entries for the forthcoming book on Lincoln fans’ away day experiences. Football writer Ian Plenderleith has been a Lincoln City fan since his dad took him to Sincil Bank in 1972 at the age of six.
