Peter Lush and David Ballheimer held the launch of their book "Hendon FC: The First 100 Years" on Saturday following the first team fixture at Harrow Borough. Around 30-40 people attended, including a number of former players from throughout the club's history. Among the attendees was legend Rod Haider, who won numerous honours in his thirteen seasons with the club and spoke for several minutes about his time at Hendon and how things have changed since the amateur era.

Also speaking were current manager, Gary McCann, who noted that he had spent his best playing days with the club and that it was the only one that "stayed very close after being on the inside" and Supporters Trust chairman Simon Lawrence who spoke passionately about both his relationship with the club and the future facing us.

Co-authors Peter Lush and David Ballheimer also both thanked the numerous people to help them throughout the writing of the book, a list including: Rod Haider, Dave Bedford, Graham Etchell, Chris Rogers, all those who were interviewed and the Hendon Times.
