Barry’s Novel Approach To Saving Lives

Burnley vice-Chairman Barry Kilby has turned author to help save more men from dying of prostate cancer.

Barry, who surrendered his post as Chairman of the club in 2012 to fight his own battle with the disease, has penned a novel that has already been a big hit in cyberspace.

But now the book ‘As Good As Some’ has been produced in paperback to help raise funds for the appeal in his name, and to raise more awareness of the UK's biggest killer of middle-aged-men.

The book also contains two new football poems, written to reflect Barry’s childhood experiences of travelling to matches with his late father and the contrasting experiences of a football Chairman.
