footballer autobiographies

Stan Collymore's "Fiendish Sudoku For Beginners".

Better than I expected.

I loved his 'Britain's best car-parks - For Dummies' - Really set me straight on a few myths and opened me up to a new World!

Paul McGrath - Back From The Brink.
Absolutely staggering story.

I dunno, Moist. I found the whole "London's NCP Valeting Postcode Lottery" section a little hard going myself.

Granted there's a fair bit of cutting through the treacle before you get to the gold.

I found his in depth chapter on the A12 'From Essex to Norfolk' an absolute revelation

Seconded. I've read a few footballer biogs and this is the only one I'd recommend. Zlatan's was pretty boring, as was Secret Footballer and even the Henry book by Auclair was only good for reliving great Arsenal moments.

I enjoyed the Bergkamp book though but mainly because I'm a huge fan of his and the way he played and thinks about the game.

Thanks guys. I came very close to buying Paul McGraths book today, decided not to as I'm only 25 so I don't remember him much at all but will have to give it a whirl

Andrea Pirlo's book "I think therefore I play" sounds good.

You won't regret it, absolutely fantastic read. Completely warts and all honest - no glossy edited version. Talks about his life as an alcoholic and his mental illness very frankly and openly.

Ordered McGrath and Pirlos off Amazon for now

Read zlatans book and tell.me you dont think he is a proper muppet by the end of it......

Great player .....but a right prat
