The 35-minute programme reported on the day's sports stories and gave the evening's speedway results. It replaced Match of the Day during the summer but was dropped when the new football season started. ...did he present a football based quiz on BBC (can't recall the name) or was that someone else? If I recall you moved a ball around a board with each right answer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lefty 1,268 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) As a Wolves fan it hurts me to recall that John Osborne, the West Bromwich goalie was very good at Quiz Ball. Edited February 11, 2023 by Lefty Spelling 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which increases the price considerably. I don’t mind posting my copy to you then return when finished. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a copy on eBay but not in great condition. Currently bidding at £20 with 3 days to go. Others available for £50. Or you can bid for a signed copy starting at £140. Amazon are out of stock. The last time I looked the used book was valued at +£100. The offer is there if you need it, it is a great read. You sound very much like a trusting guy. Also you’ve told us where you work :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will still be in the same drawer for a long time so won’t miss it. I’m still on Kelly Moran’s book. M Lee’s was a good read but I think we all knew most of the content. Little tip on eBay. I wouldn’t place a bid with 3 days to go, it often ends up just pushing the price up. Leave it to the last 30 mins of the closing day. Good luck. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll let you know and thanks again...good luck with the Kelly Moran book. As I've said previously having read the book I took a different view on him. John Berry's second book made a reference to my responding to his revealing insight regarding Billy Sanders receiving money to throw a race.
