Please tell me you are joking?
Colin Shindler is an utter fucking embarrassment to the club,and I wouldn't put a penny in his bank account.
Cringeworthy,over-sentimental crap that shows him and the club up.

Blue Moon Rising is a good read.

It tracks City's fall and rise in the ten years from 1990 to the promotion back to the Premier League at Blackburn in 2000.

Also, Cult Heroes was very enjoyable, even if I didn't agree with all the selections.

I have only read 'Manchester United Ruined My Life'. That was awful.

Apart from those mentioned on this thread, I would recommend 'Lows, Highs and Chicken Balti Pies'.

I have to admit that I found the Colin Bell and Shaun Goater autobiographies very dull. But then I have found most autobiographies a chore to read.

I enjoyed his book about the Summerbees.

I haven't read any of his others.

And considering his comments about City since the takeover, I won't be, either!

Mike Doyle's autobiography is worth reading.
Mike Summerbee's is Ok, but he dwells too much on George Best
Rodney Marsh's is worth avoiding
