Books
They really don't make them like the great Tommy Cook any more. In the football season, he was and still remains Albion's leading all-time goalscorer. With the bat, his innings of 278 versus Hampshire in 1930 is even now the highest score by a Sussex-born player. Tales of his sporting prowess came back to the fore a couple of years ago as Glenn Murray closed in on his 123 goals for Albion. Murray, who was eventually out on Nelson at 111, certainly knows all about Tommy Cook. The book reveals in detail the background to his sacking as Albion manager in 1947 and his later rise to cult status after his early death.
