    Not autobiographies as such

    But I'd recommend Bill Bryson's travel books.

    if you're wanting sport then gascgoine, cascarino, claridge and stuart pearces are worth a read.
    don't normally do non-sport but I enjoyed chris moyles' book.

    Bazza - Barry Sheene

    Sprinter - Malcolm Elliott
    Its not about the bike -Lance Armstrong

    Really enjoyed that - have you read Phil Sparrowhawks too

    Equally as good, if not better. Interesting side to Howard Marks too, ie fame seeking etc

    Gazza/ Pearce/ Ian Wright/ Tuffers

    definately recommend Gazza's and Wrights

    only bad thing about Wrights is that he says the whole ponty end racially abused him when we played Arsenal.

    if you like Jeremy clarkson id recommend i know you got soul and the world according to Clarkson. Quality books.
