Cracking read

5 November A book detailing Boston United's exploits in the FA Cup has been written by local author and Boston United fan Doug Lowe - who hails from Wyberton. The unusual title: "Lay on them backs, Boston" refers to advice shouted out by a Boston fan at a game in the 1950s to encourage Boston's wingers to attack. After a narrative account of Boston United’s achievements in the competition, the carefully researched book includes results, scorers and line-ups for all their FA Cup games. Full details of the opposing team are also given. Match reports of important games are included. A number of appendices give United’s players’ records (appearances and goals) and, for Boston’s opponents, an account of ‘where are they now’ and the leagues they were in when the clubs met in the competition. The book is illustrated with many action photographs, player portraits, match programme covers and match tickets. John Motson kindly contributed the foreword - recollecting the times he spent in Boston in the fifties when his father and uncle took him to watch Boston play. Lay on them backs, Boston
