Please note, I don’t do personalised research. I do this as a hobby in my own time, without any external support.
I have previously provided information to people when asked and have been happy to help, and most people are appreciative. However, there have been to many occasions where I have taken the time to provide detailed replies and not even received a thank you back.
Everything I come across is already in the public domain, it just takes the time and effort to look for it.
If you like what I’m trying to do, or are genuinely interested, buy the books, leave a review, share the various posts, spread the word to people, watch and comment on the YouTube videos, anything is appreciated to try to take this to a wider audience, just don’t take the piss.

First draft of my latest effort. Something different and competition specific this time. Looking at a release date of 24 January, which will be exactly 136 years since the first Welsh Junior Cup game was played.
Everything else is still available here - amazon.co.uk/stores/Adam-Squ…

Forgotten Football - The Welsh Amateur Cup (1890-1914)
Started working on something different recently away from clubs. I already have the research for the early days of the competition, so it makes sense to compile it in one place.
Making decent progress on this so far.
