    Georgie Charlton my unbelievable life as a footballer.

    The Beautiful Game by David Conn is a great read on how the Prem screwed up football
    Left Foot Forward by Gary Nelson - life as a journeyman footballer but well written
    Life at the Top - BFC in the Prem
    Keeper of Dreams by Lars Leese - great read of a foreign player coming to BFC

    The book that revolutionised football, nay sports writing, was Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby, Left Foot Forward seconded also worth a read is Floodlit Dreams by Ian Ridley which tells the story of his attempt to save Weymouth FC.
