-- Reviews by the Famous and well Known

I am honoured to have been asked to write the foreword to ‘The Official Shrewsbury Town Quiz Book’ compiled by Chris Cowlin and David Williams.
I had three spells at the club; I first arrived in the 1980s as an apprentice and break into the first team the year later. I played with some great players during my time at the club and played under various managers. I made a club record 418 League appearances, scoring 36 goals. It was a great moment in my career when the club were crowned Division Three Champions in 1993/1994 and when I helped to keep the club in the Football League by scoring against Exeter City in the 2-1 away win in May 2000. I played my last game for The Shrews in 2001 and joined Boston United, I can honesty say that I have had an enjoyable football career which has lasted over 20 years. I would advise you to remember these facts as they will help when you are answering the Mickey Brown section!
The history of Shrewsbury Town is long and varied and I’m sure the questions included in this book will bring back plenty of memories.
Having been fortunate enough to see a preview of this book, I know that Shrewsbury Town fans of all ages will be entertained for hours with questions about the Shrews past and present.
As the club continues to write new chapters in its history, it is always fitting to remember what went before.
I hope you all enjoy this wonderful quiz book as much as I did.
Mickey Brown, Shrewsbury Town Football Club (1986-1991, 1992-1994 and 1996-2001)

This quiz book should prove to be a big challenge for the most loyal Shrewsbury Town fan.
Paul Simpson, Shrewsbury Town Football Club (Manager)

What an excellent book this is, I’m going to get a copy so the lads can test each other’s knowledge on those long away trips on the coach.
Grant Holt, Shrewsbury Town Football Club
