Not quite how I remembered it.

Forever Boys is essential reading for any City fan.

Maradona's autobiography 'El Diego' is a brilliant read.

Is the David Conn book “Richer than God” worth a read or is it a constant slag off of our owners and club?

I enjoyed parts of it but Conn's sanctimoniousness was the abiding impression it left with me.

If you don't like the modern game don't watch/report or earn money from it.

Read the first gazza book which was incredible and also the Paul merson book " how not to be a professional footballer"

Just reading this at the moment. The more I read the more he pisses me off.
Although he professes to be a City fan in his youth he singles out City as spoiling the game and says the council allowed City to destroy East Manchester. He doesn’t use the phrase but he accuses our owners of Sports washing.
He thinks City fans are desperate in thanking our owners (on a banner) and says we should have done a United in revolting against the Sheikh - as an example he devotes a whole chapter on FC United of Manchester (Norwich reserves), Oh and the way we treated Mark Hughes was classless and disgraceful.
He’s very much a jumpers for goalposts man living in the world of football when you could turn up in the day and pay at the turnstiles. He can’t understand why City fans who won nothing for 37 years have turned their back on Manchester

I’ll give it a miss then and stick to my Greek mythology books.

I’d be amazed if either of those two could read let alone write a book.

Shoot Annual 1974

‘City have ruined football’ is an excellent read.

It’s only 115 pages long, too.

Foreword by Nick Harris.
