FOREWORD

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

vii

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.

Best wishes Mickey Brown

INTRODUCTION

I would first of all like to thank Mickey Brown for writing the

foreword to this book. I am very grateful for his help on this project. I would also like to thank the Shropshire Star, Beacon Radio

and BBC Shropshire for their comments and reviews on this

book (these can be found at the back of the book).

I would also like to thank Ian Whitfield at Shrewsbury Town

Football Club for his help during the books compilation.

I hope you enjoy this book. Hopefully it should bring back

some wonderful memories!

It was great to work with David Williams for the first time, between us I hope we have given you a selection of easy, medium and hard questions.

In closing, I would like to thank all my friends and family for

encouraging me to complete this book.

Best wishes Chris Cowlin
