We have two copies of Brian William's excellent new release 'Nearly Reach The Sky' to give away to a pair of lucky KUMB.com readers.

'Nearly Reach The Sky' is a collection of self-contained pieces that primary reflect what it's like to support West Ham United FC, though much of it could apply to any club.

Throughout the book there is the stark realisation that the club is on the verge of leaving the area that has been its home for more than 100 years, with all the nostalgia that entails.
