John will be reading from his autobiography ‘From Bo’ness to the Bernabeu: My Story’ at Mansfield and Worksop.

The events follow a similar successful event held last year at West Bridgford Library which was well received.

John said: “The event at West Bridgford was a brilliant evening, in a superb setting and there was a great atmosphere, so I am looking forward to the forthcoming talks at both Worksop Library and Mansfield Library as well.

“Partnership initiatives between Nottingham Forest and the county council’s library service really help promote the value of reading and libraries to so many people.”
