Lives that tell a great story.

[RACHACE]

In light of the new Maradona biopic, who else either now or in the past has a truly remarkable story to tell about their lives?

Say what you want about Maradona being a cheat etc. There is still no doubt that he has had a wild life with many factors that us regular folk find very interesting and entertaining.

So who else would you read or watch a biopic on and why?

Hoping for a few recommendations for people who've done some remarkable things that don't get the recognition that they deserve. (other than the city 100 points and domestic quadruple winning side's)

Theresa May.


For starters, was she wearing knickers when she ran through the cornfield?

The book about Max Woosnam was a great read and obviously linked to City also.
