    There are few biographies I'll read anyway

    I think the only football one's I've read are Brian Clough's and Lars Leese's...got Redfearn's but not read it yet.

    I think you'll find it'll be the story of his life and racing career so far... and how he fought his way up to Formula One.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    Brian Clough's was very good

    can't see why anyone would buy young footballer's books or Hamilton's. Nothing against Lewis I'm a big fan but it's way too early for an autobiography, if he's anything like Barrichello or Coulthard he could race another 15 seasons or more, after that I'll buy his book.

    and as far as fighting his way to F1, he was obviously talented early on so Ron Dennis fastracked him through the levels of motorsport where his talent continued to show. Took me one sentence

    Read a few football ones

    Alex Ferguson , Dalglish, Ryan Giggs, Paul Gascoine, David Batty, Redfearn- The Cloughie onewas excellent - probably get the Bobby Charlton one. To be honest I enjoy them - some of the non footballing ones are good - Warne's and Tuffnell's were a good read. The Hamilton one is annoying - how can you do it after one season

    The only autobiography I've ever read is...

    Freaky Dancing - Bez

    I can't imagine footballers have that interesting tales. You would hope, at least these days, that they would be too concentrated and professional. "Yeah, I trained a lot and scored some goals. One time, it was dead funny like cos I scored an own goal."

    Reminds me of what Bill Hicks said about the Doors Movie

    I'm drunk I'm nobody
    I'm drunk I'm famous
    I'm drunk I'm dead.
