City autobiographies

[The Pink Panther]

I've read Bert Trautmann's (bit dull), Mike Doyle's (the guy was an arsehole but at least he admits it), Joe Corrigan's (again dull) and at the moment three chapters into Buzzers which already is miles better than all the others.
Apart from Colin the King are there any recommendations?

 

[Citizen Green]

Shaun Goaters is a top read mate.

 

[Corky]

Niall Quinns is quite good, plenty of insite into Adams' and Merson's addictions.

Burt's a bit dull?

I thought it was the best I've read by a mile.

Agree Joe's was dull and the Goats was ok but not indepth enough.

joe mercers was a very intresting read ,, i agree with you about mike doyle ..this guy was a hero to me when i was young ,but after reading his book he just came across as a complete w*****.

Forgot about Mercer's that was a close second to Bert's.

 

[Billy City]

Do you mean "Steppes to Wembley" which was published in the 50s or Alan Rowlands excellent biog which has recently been updated I believe, definitely not dull IMO.

There was a good biog of Billy Meredith by John Harding published in the 1980s - titled "Football Wizard" - I thought it would be out of print now but just found it on Amazon in hardback only - strange as my 80s copy is a paperback. Worth reading if you're interested in the early years of the club.
