Replying so the thread does not disappear so fast.

Thanks to everyone who contacted be because of the book so far.

And I wanted to add that if you should need more than one page that should be fine as well.

A little update on the project. A couple of Lehmann's former teammates will/might participate as well. I can't give you any details yet but you'll have a good chance to end up next to one or the other football legend in the book.

Great idea.....and...for me Wenger got rid of him WAY TOO QUICKLY...mind you he wanted to dismantle that amazing team of 2004 very quick and got his dream.....id still have mad Jens in our goal now!!!!

To me it looks a bit like Wenger wanted to get rid of all the complicated players, which would be almost the whole Invincibles. Those who criticised the hopeful youngster (I remember at least Ljungberg, Henry and Lehmann doing that and well, Wenger loves the young players, doesn't he?) and maybe some of the players speaking out for selling more shares of Arsenal and buying new top players did also play a part. Especially Henry and Lehmann said thing in that direction in public and Wenger seems to be a coach who wants absolute control over what is happening within the club. Because hey, the man is not stupid. No one can tell me he really thought those players were past it. No one with a clue about football can be that ignorant of the merits of experience.

That team was dismantled way to quickly.....and for that i really can never forgive Wenger. To sell practically every single one of those unbeatables within 24 months was an utter disgrace and we will never ever recover. If he believes that the good times will be like that again with the current crop he hasnt got a hole in his butt.

Back to Lehmann's book

I simply don't understand Wenger there. But yes, OT, back on topic. I might be able to give a peek on the cover and maybe the layout of one or two pages soon.

I think that would be hilarious.

No, more like Freddie...

Beware of the goalkeeper!
Legend!

On a tour of the stadium they said the dressing room bell that tells the players to come out for each half was situated above the goalkeepers head but Lehmann used to say it interupted his concentration before he went out so the moved it to the other side of the changing room after a while he was dropped and ended up sitting right underneath it again

I loved Lehmann he was a top class keeper and although he made mistakes he saved us points many more times

I've got a first draft of the cover for you. Probably not the final version but pretty close I think.

And here is one of the contributions that I can show in public. I should also be able to post a preview of one or two pages with a letter (without original text though) in a few days so you will get an idea of how I set the written stuff I receive per email if the person doesn't have his/her own layout.
