A Derby boy - Anton Rippon

"Eventually, getting on for midnight, I appeared, just in time for Christmas.
I've always liked a party and obviously didn't want to miss this one"Anton Rippon is a Derby boy through and through.
Born just before Christmas 1944, his entrance into the world was hastened after his mother fell over a milk churn in the blackout.
A Derby Boy is a collection of Anton's reminiscences of childhood, teenage years and his introduction to the bustling world of work.
Nostalgia abounds with tales of family, schooldays, trips to theatres and cinemas, shops and streets, pubs and clubs, sporting life and national events.
