    RE: Do not buy Heart of the Game - Jimmy Greaves

    I started reading Jimmy Greaves autobiography a few years ago and never finished it. Just boring *****... I think we can conclude that he's definitely not an author

    Sad to say this but absolutely don't read

    Redders book. </p>

    Very disappointed after reading it. He's my all time favourite Barnsley player. It's not entirely down to the fact I found out he was a L**ds fan that I didn't like the book, but it certainly didn't help.</p>

    I haven't read many autobiographies

    and maybe I was expecting too much.</p>

    I enjoyed some of it, but in the end it took some of the shine off one of my heroes, so maybe I'm being overly harsh</p>

    is your username supposed to say TIT?

    Hooligans are criminals, it is not within sport at all, it just so happens that these selfish, moronic ******* choose to commit their crimes in the vicinity of football stadiums.
    A book about Jamie Bulger's murder isn't a book on fecking shopping is it.

    Last one I read was Ooh Ah Stantona - Autobiography of Phil Stant.

    Very enjoyable - telling his stories from serving in the Falklands to his time as a pro in the lower leagues. Preferred it to a lot of the others around as he'd clearly written it himself & not had ghost-writers in. Led an incredible life that man, fair play.

    Would always reccomend "Who ate all the pies" by Mickk Quinn if you want a good laugh. Booze, birds, gambling & football - what more could you want :D
