What's the best football book of all time?

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’d need to read it again but I remember quite liking it when I read it the first time. I didn’t agree with some of his viewpoints but I didn’t think they were without merit or not well argued, I was conflicted about a lot of it too and found it interesting to read a city fan articulating it.

His journalism since then though, I’m not a fan of whatsoever.
