Good City Player autobiographies

[Ed68]

I read Paul Lakes when I was away last year and have to say it blew me away.

I'm hoping to take a few away with me next week however think it will be hard to get anywhere near as good.

I already have Bert T's and am looking to buy Andy M's too. Are there any other decent ones? Is Mike D's any good?

Oh, I've previously read Buzzer's and the Goats.

Niall Quinns was a good honest read

Stuart Pearce and Robbie Fowler's are quite good.
Not a City player, but I enjoyed Bobby Robson's.

Thanks guys.

It doesn't have to be City. That is what I'm mainly interested in although something like Robson's is a good option.

I've just started Dennis Tueart's which looks interesting. Mike Doyle's is as blunt and outspoken as you'd expect, I found Colin Bell's a little dull tbh.

I imagine Bobby Robson's would be excellent. Robbie Fowler's was quite interesting but more about Liverpool than at City.

Just finished Dennis Tueart's autobiog. The earlier part was the standard youngster-growing-up-and-making-it-in-the- bigtime fare, and of course"that goal". I found his post-playing years more interesting - there is a degree of self-pity as he was ousted from his seat on the board, but his insight into the depths we sank to is most revealing.
Read his views on Frank Clark and Joe Royle, for example, and on Gio. The chaos and lack of direction in those years is frightening to look back on.
Give it a go.

T'was a good read as was Lakeys.

Colin Bells I wasn't too sure what to make of, think it was Ian Cheesemans first go but we have to remember Colin was a very humble man who wasn't particularly fond of the limelight, the book very much bore those characteristics out, so, with that in mind it very much captured what Colin Bell was about really.
(That's what I like to think anyway).

Andy Morrison's was a good read. Quite an eye opener.
