Nice list mate and welcome to the boards. I have "You're ok, It's just a bruise" and it is an excellen read. A real eye opener that charts a few years of one of the doctors on the Raiders team and the horrors he saw. It also charts Lyle Alzado's fight with steroid abuse which led to his brain cancer. Really good stuff.

Hi, I have quite a few of these books, a good portion. Here are also some good UK sellers of Oakland Raiders merchandise, please add links if you know more: * Ebay Raiders sellers* Ebay SportyWalrus seller (Sells losts of Football gear, with a lot of Raiders Jackets and Jerseys but check overy other day as many new jackets come and go). I can vouch for this seller as I have bought three items. Authentic and very fast delivery and quality. * NASN: Raiders caps, jerseys, gloves.* Acas Sports* Football Shirts (jerseys, tops, caps, cups.)* Reebok Store* Ball Park Figures* Great American Sports (Birmingham) |

I'm going to sticky this - so if anyone comes across anything then it'll be easier to find.

I'll set this to a sticky as well - I promise it will be the last one.
Where do you all get your Raiders gear from?

I have picked most of mine up in the States, from various outlets, when I have been out there.

They have Raider cups and mouse mats at Kitbag - but how can they justify charging £40 for a Moss jersey when he's no longer at the club.

I tend to keep an eye on FootballFanatics.com to see what is available. The Bo Jackson Jersey they are displaying is the one that I got but I didn't pay $125 for it. Mind you when you figure out the cost of the flight, car hire etc., it is probably a bargain. I will have to check out Kitbag.
