colint5 47 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi lads and lassers i was just wondering if any of use have read this book if so what do you think of it??thanks dean had it for years now. makes interesting reading , but as most will say, you make your own mind up with what is fact and what is fiction with Plummer. theres loads of tales in the book about those big hauls of rats at the chicken farm, but never any pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wirral countryman 2,110 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think its one of the worst books he wrote,he was rushing to meet the deadline for this book and basically copied out of his diary in a short time ,I was supposed to get a plummer bitch lined that was standing that week and he messed me around something rotten,not a patch on some of his early stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was Richard Jones (name of Plummers vet), pup was Beardie /Border 1st cross to Irish Coursing Grew (Jade). Bout '84 if I remember rightly.
