    I bought his book "Four Minutes To Hell: The Story Of The Bradford City Fire" even though I was not sure if I could sit and read it.
    Reading Pauls account of that terrible afternoon actually helped me with regards others memories as even now fans who were in attendance rarely talk openly about it.
    It was far from easy recalling that day so God knows how hard it must have been to write the book recalling his personal memories.

    You did better than me. I bought the book and it has sat on my bookshelf, unread, to this day.

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words about my Dad. I know 4 Minutes, as hard as it was for him to write it, helped him and a few others. The night we did the book launch for his other book on Big Bob will live long in the memory as being one of the best nights I've ever experienced. Not going to lie though, it will be tough the first game back and seeing that empty seat next to me. If anyone is interested we've done a Just Giving to support Brain Tumour Research as it's a indiscriminate disease with relatively little known about it: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising-edit/paul-firth1951
