Hi Eds and reds, basically I'm a big fan of reading football autobiographies and I was wondering if any of you guys had any that you could recommend? I've read both of Gerrards, carraghers, Zlatan's, pirlo's and I'm just about to start Gascoignes, thanks guys.

Collymore is a d**k, but his Autobiography is a good read.

Someone asked the same question a few weeks back, I suggested Paul Mcgrath's, it's the best one I've read along with 44 months with two cowboys! Worse one I've read, David ginola's, it's awful, steer well clear.

Not a footy one, but a sports one. The lance Armstrong autobiography is an interesting read considering it was all based on lies when he wrote it.

Agree Ed002. The best footballer you never saw is a brilliant and quite sad read.

43 years with the same bird by Brian Reade isn't bad, the Epic Swindle (44 months with 2 cowboys, Hicks and Gillet) is a must for any reds but give Sami Hyypia's a swerve, hardest autobiography Iv'e ever picked up.
One book, not an player autobiography, that is hilarious and really interesting but quite sad at times is In My Blood by Gerry Blayney, a massive reds fan for over 50 years who has travelled all over the world watching the reds, some of the stories are class.

Best football book ever is the miracle of castel di sangro by Joe mcguiness. Also try the keeper of dreams, lars leese autobiography. superb.

Ian wright, hilarious mate. Stories of him robbing cars and stuff in his late teens then next thing he knew he was playing for palace.

Sorry, there's clearly a huge number of David ginola fans on here, I take it back, his autobiography is really very good👍.
