City autobiographies

[Mr Partridge]

I've read Shaun Goater's. Interesting some of things he had to say about Keegan. I have to say I lost a bit of respect for KK after reading it.

Tony Books isnt too bad. Gave me huge respect for the bloke.
Ive just read Mark Wards - not bad, hes pretty honest with himself.
Enjoyed Quinnys.
Thought Colin Bells was the mosty boring book Ive ever read

Lakeys will be the best as I think it will be very honest as he always is.

Hes writing it at the mo

tony books is the best ive read so far.

 

[Mr Gumby]

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

Agree with this, although IMO too much emphasis on Eire/Roy Keane shenanigans. Would have liked to have read a bit more about his days at Maine Road.

The one I would recommend to anyone and one of the best football autobiographys I have read is Stan Bowles. To be fair the majority of his book is based around his time at QPR, but it has some great stories and is as funny as fuck.

 

[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?

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.

Yip, the one written by Alan Rowlands.

When I've finished Buzzer's I'll give Tony Book's a go after everyone's reviews.
