# "All who read this book will get a clear insight into the early life of a great angler. It starts in 1929 when Bob was born and meanders its way through his school days to fishing the Old Lea for Stone Loach and Christmas in the early 1930s. Bob then takes you through the war years, after his National service, ending in the halcyon days at The Royalty and Southill Park, with so much more in-between." (From the foreword by Tony Meers). Also included within the book is a tribute section with contributions from a large number of Bob's friends from the angling world including Tim Paisley, Kevin Clifford, Chris Ball, Bruce Vaughan, John Carver, Keith Linsell, Martin James, Dave Steuart, John Carver, Chris Turnbull, Alan Rawden, Des Taylor, Len Arbery, Pete Reading and many others.
