A former Ely footballer and sports journalist will be in the city to sign copies of a book he has written about a sporting career that spans 43 years.
Stephen Green 55, netted a publishing deal after penning his tale over a period of six years.
He will be in Ely on Thursday May 5 at the Lamb Hotel from 10.30am to sign copies of the book ‘Ely’s Midge Green - the story of a six foot four centre forward in a five foot nine body’.
It tells the tale of how the beautiful game took him all over the country, meeting many people and bringing a huge dose of positivity along the way.
Stephen said: “To be involved in any sport is a great boost to keeping fit, meeting people and having a positive focus.

“My high point was playing Aston Villa in 1978 when I played for King’s Lynn. We drew 2-2 and I scored both goals, that is a definite career highlight.”
