“The Way It Was”, a project conceived by Nick, is probably the most eagerly-awaited book about a football supporter ever! Four thousand copies are set to be released. Players and managers, past and present, have been lining up to pay tribute to Morris, who is a veteran of over 4,500 matches and a friend to many of the game’s legendary players.
Former England manager Terry Venables has written the book’s foreword and others to have contributed include; Sir Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Graeme Souness, Roy Hodgson, Steve Perryman, George Graham, George Cohen, Garth Crooks, Ken Jones, Cliff Jones, Bobby Smith, Paul Miller, Terry Dyson, David Pleat, Pat Jennings, Alan Mullery and many more.
