“Fantastic insight into the highs and lows of trying to realise the dream of top-level professional sport in a fairly small market. Expertly written, a must read, definitely 5 stars.” Paul Morris

Dave Spindley

“As a former Derby player looking forward to reading and having memories rekindled, I was blown away by the insight of the author into the club from both the organisation and the playing side of operations. The detail and accuracy with which the author writes is testament to his record-keeping and research skills. His contacts within the club have not let him down and the further I read, the more immersed in my past I became. Highly recommended read for anyone with an interest in basketball or sport in general.” ***** Dave Spindley

“Chasing a Dream is a fantastically detailed trip down memory lane for anyone who has ever been involved in Derby basketball. Packed with extensive reviews of all eras – those packed Saturday nights at Moorways are bought to life within the pages of Steve’s book. This is a great look at one of the most special and path-shaping periods of my life. I can trace absolutely everything in my life back to Derby basketball. It’s incredible to have this wonderful summary of those fond memories in my possession. Thank you for all your efforts Steve.” ***** Mike Keys

“I received the book Chasing a Dream as a gift. It was great to see someone take time to document the history of one of the UK’s premier basketball teams and programmes. Flipping through, I saw many great photos of players I grew up watching and eventually playing against or for during my own playing career. A great insight into the Derby basketball history with some interesting stories of players and coaches. An interesting resource for any UK basketball fan.” ***** Duncan Ogilvie
