Hastings Reunited, is a book reflecting on the highs and lows in the history of Hastings United which has now been published.
Essex based life long supporter Roger Sinden has written the contents, based upon personal recollection and research of material in a programme collection dating from 1948 to the present day.
I was prompted to record the events from the clubs formation to the present day during a conversation with parliamentarian Tony Benn, when he was discussing the importance of recording memories for future generations. The club has experienced both highs and lows and this is an attempt to record them for posterity.
It highlights one particular match per season in selected years from 1948 to 2002 and is a must for both supporters of non league football as well as those with a particular interest in Hastings Senior football.
Roger was interviewed on BBC Southern Counties when the book was launched and took the opportunity to explain his love of Hastings and the reason why he chose to write Hastings Reunited.

The book was unveiled at the BBC South East Sports awards at the Brighton Metropole on 4 December 2006, where Arsenal Women’s and England Women’s Football Captain Faye White was Roger’s special guest and received the first copy.
