Just purchased your book Spud 🥔, cant wait read it. Also it’s very admirable donating part of the proceeds to veterans. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@ducati916SPS]

Small in number but British Parachute Regiment are one tough fighting force.....from 🇺🇸

[@timothyarnold777]

I read this book in March that was kindly borrowed to me by a school boy friend of mine Paul Bishop, B Coy, 2 Para. Very well put together, I couldn't put the book down. Big respect from me.

[@jasonallen530]

Just finished this book this morning. I've read many about the battle. I couldn't put this one down! Fantastic read! Cheers Spud..

[@mick32156]

I appreciate how Spud translates military language and takes the time to explain what it means.

[@paulroossien5322]

Bought the book recently can not wait to read it could listen to nigel all day thanks chris

[@spikeus3039]

Thanks Spud! Great chat and recounting of the events. Boy they go so quick these chats with the lads who have done it! and that's another book you've helped sell Chris, thanks for the Channel.

[@gregshrimpton1630]

His story is beyond belief? so much respect for these guys! what they did was nothing short of a miracle! Thanks Nigel & Chris 👍👊❤

[@littleianthefirst]

glued..... incredible detailed account, memory, cheers Nigel.

[@Laters3]

Can people remember when we would line the streets back then and clap and wave 👋 to are boy’s & girls in the military

[@M.M.M.81]

Best Falklands book I’ve read, ally

[@TheHypernaught]

I just got Spud's audiobook, on Audible, and it is very well articulated by non-other than Spud himself. I really hope Spud narrates all of his books moving forward.

[@minkrediblegeneral]

Ill get that

[@minkrediblegeneral]

What’s it called?

[@davidcowley]

Outstanding Chris. I could listen to Spud all day long and twice on a Sunday 😉 keep up the good cause. Love ya

[@ChrisThrall]

You too mate Ty X

[@Treeesmith]

G'day Bruv These chats are gold, thank you both

[@CroydonTramp]

Chris you keep smashing it. Thank you much. These guys are amazing. Please keep them coming.

[@OrdinaryJoe12]

Total warrior, born to fight and keep us safe.

[@karlv2876]

Yes it was certainly different , apparently the tasking was for 45 Cdo ,but H Jones voiced his views and was then given the task of Goose Green . I met some of the guys after the conflict whilst touring the country , even survived a run ashore with the lads in Aldershot !! Although there is always banter between the guys , there is always respect . Thanks for the interview .

[@richardsalsman1069]

great podcast, looking forward to reading Spud's book

[@1984isHereNow]

Respect and admiration to our amazing heroic band of British brothers in arms.

[@nickhealey3388]

Brilliant podcast Chris and thank you spud,] brave brave lads that fought down there

[@customspoons]

Excellent podcast. RIP to the brave fallen

[@macanbhaird1966]

Great work! Thanks for this.

[@brentmeistergeneral2813]

Terminal Velocity. Great book. Spud says how it is. Speaks boundaries when he came back from the falklands and went straight back on selection again after injuring himself in the trees. Epitome of a Parachute Regiment soldier.

[@ianlearmonth]

Excellent podcast I'm part way through the audio book , some great stories and very interesting insights into what went on.

[@robertsheldrake2295]

Another amazing podcast thanks Spud, thanks Chris 👏👏👏

[@pauljohnston9776]

Absolutely excellent craic. Thanks spud and Chris 💪👌👏

[@andynjw1163]

another good book from Goose green by a guy called Tony Banks. I used to chat with him by text many moons ago. Book was called storming the Falklands

[@Andy-walkaboutnutty]

Absolutely brilliant, yes I was engrossed indeed. 💯👍

[@MrHullRockers]

Crazy to think we're as far away in time from the Falklands war now as we were from WW2 at the time of the Falklands war.

[@samson40a]

Another very interesting story. Updated July 2022. Half way through reading this book. All I will say is that if you haven’t read it then you need to put it on your list of books to read. Such a well written book that I find very easy to read and try to understand what happened.

[@MrAl1962]

that was enthralling many thanks

[@petteremberson]

Great piece.

[@dannyotter7247]

Nice one Chris, this stuff needs to be told and the perspective needs to be shared - I was a little lad when this happened, but it resonated with me then and even more so now. Still makes me proud that we had the people and the resources to get the job done - no mean feat even by todays standards.

[@matty6848]

Same as me Danny I was only ,4/5 years old when this war kicked off but I can remember my parents watching the footage coming back from the Falklands at the time. Too me then it was just another war miles away, but remember my dad saying too me " son this is our soldiers, our boys fighting, not some foreign war.

[@williammcquade3081]

Wonder if the screenplay will come to fruition?

[@gazlyno]

awesome stuff, already read spuds book Terminal Velocity Will get his latest Goose green. Thanks for sharing Chris

[@dazmac159]

Well put, narratives have changed! East Timor some NZ units ditched the 556 Styre, pulled out old 762 SLRs as the heavier round got better penetration in the jungle areas.

[@paulmackenzie5526]

Excellent account. respect sirs !!

[@jonstead12]

Hi Chris I have only just came across this podcast about goose green I was wondering if there was anyway to get in touch with Nigel Ely my dad was in 2 para in goose green unfortunately he is no longer with us and I was wondering if he knew my father and if so could tell me abit about his army life I can only remember what I seen on base ❤

[@ChrisThrall]

[@jonstead12]

Where do I find the email please

[@danielmalthouse4429]

Brilliant again. Cheers

[@mayfieldca]

Coincidentally, the yanks have recently announced that they are dropping the 5.56 for frontline troops replacing it with a heavier common machine gun/rifle round

[@sonsofthesilentage994]

Chris RM Commando ... respect brother, I notice you got healthy respect for the blades of Para Reg 😂

[@ChrisThrall]

[@mick32156]

Cheers Chris. I sent you a WhatsApp for a guy you would I'm sure find very interesting. I've sent him a link to the contacts page on your website. He was pivotal to the whole campaign in my opinion. Hope you interview him.
