    Frank Skinners, Fergies,Niall Quinn (although he went on about Kean too much). In another vein I read John Mc Cain's the American presidential candidate that was really interesting

    Not strictly an autobiography but personally I found Giovanni Falcone's 'Men of honour' a fascinating read.

    Aye, forgot about Brazil's. Good read, honest as well. He speaks very openly about the Torbett abuse.

    Got Pep Guardiolas to read, reading Karl Pilkingtons the story of all his adventures from an idiot abroad just now. Might get the Roy Keane book. Also got Frankie Boyles which was a good laugh

    It is only a biography, but I just read "Robert Enke - A Life Too Short" about the German keeper who committed suicide. Very touching story and a highly recommended book.

    Escobar. It is written by Pablo's brother Roberto. One of the most interesting books I've read. The money he had was unbelievable.

    Aye,great book.* being his postman.

    Lenny McLeans book The Guv'nor is well worth a read,especially if your into criminal or boxing books,some may know him from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

    Read choppers autobiography it's fantastic loads of humour as well as a lot of * up * like you would expect from chopper. It's not an autobiography but the writings of bobby sands are a brilliant read

    I recently read Captain Scott (not an 'auto' - written by Ranulph Fiennes).

    Really interesting, and probably moreso because it was penned by a modern-day nut-job explorer type!

    Its written by an absolute disgusting excuse of a human and I actually only read this book so I could use some quotes in my History exam and even then I couldn't finish it, but Mein Kampf might be interesting if you like history.

    It's interesting to see how Hitler came to the conclusions that he did, but it becomes difficult to read because of the amount of bs he goes on with. I've not really given a good reason to read it, but it might be something you're interested in.
