Dear Sir,
Just to inform you that we are publishing Derek Tapscott's autobiography this October. It is titled:
Tappy; from Barry Town to Arsenal, Cardiff City and Beyond.
I don't know if you are aware but Derek is not in the best of health at the moment however he seems to be keeping happy and the last time I spoke with him he remembers his Arsenal days very fondly indeed.
Kind regards
Karl Waddicor
