Book Profit Reaches Early £500

Sales of club historian Gordon Sydney’s latest book ‘Tales of the Clyde (Volume 1)’ are going very well, with copies already arriving on supporters’ doormats.

The initial response has been so good that the Covid-19 donations appeal has already benefited by an excellent sum of £500.

Gordon said: “The book features interviews former players and managers covering seven decades of club history, so hopefully it will bring back memories for every Clyde supporter out there! It was great just bringing all the interviews back together and reading them again.

“So, if you haven’t already bought a copy, please do so and let’s see if we can break the magic £1,000 figure!”
