We're deeply saddened by the news about Trevor Francis. We were proud to collaborate with him on his autobiography and found him engaging, passionate and great to work with. The Francis family are in our thoughts at this sad time.
We're deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of football historian and prolific Pitch Publishing author David Potter. It was a pleasure and privilege to work with David on numerous books, and we will miss him. Our thoughts are with David’s family at this sad time.
