Anish Posted 10 May 2005 Share Posted 10 May 2005 fever pitch !jimmy greaves and tony adams autobiography are good reads too 106426[/snapback] I am currently reading Jimmy Greave's autobio and it's quite a good read. I'd recommend Bob Wilson's autobio which is by far the best book I've read in years, and also Roy Keane's book for it's sheer honesty and frankness about his life.

At times you think ' should he be saying that ' And when he was at Forest and he passed the ball back and a striker got through on goal and scored and he walked into the Dresing room and Cloughie smacked him and said Dont ever pass the ball back .
