Football Autobiographies

[kikoefc]

Going away on friday and fancy taking a football autobiography with me, anyone got any reccomendations? I would prefer to read a managers but dont mind players either.

No input on this one, but I've been after one too, thanks for making this ! =)

Look forward to the answers....

I've always heard of the obvious ones, but I bet there some hidden gems of players you wouldnt really think of

 

[Phil Neville Superstar]

Alan Ball's.

Obviously I'm just saying this as I live down here, but Matt Le Tissier's is decent.

Awesome story in there about he him and Barry Horne nearly ruined Alan Shearer's career before it really started!

Kiko, not an autobiography but a great read, ''The Beautiful Team'' by Garry Jenkins.
He goes in search of Brazil's 1970 World Cup winning team, and interviews the surviving members. I'm reading it at the moment for the third time. Boss

Robin Friday's was an amazingly good read.

Couple of the Oasis lads paid for all the research for it to be done and written. Was really, really good.

I've not read it yet but I'm going to read Mick McCarthy's book from quite a few years ago, Captain Fantastic. I absolutely love him.
