Best football book ever?

[Rob_the_Saint]

Thought I'd try 'tales from the boot camps' which is about Streve Claridge written by him and Mr Ridley just on the strength of the Amazon reviews. Might while away the long hours on the road to Bogner (sic).

 

Anyone else got any fave reads?

[Electric ~soul~]

Fever Pitch is a reasonable read, but there's a tragic ending.

The best footballer you never saw:The Robin Fiday story. Is a cracking read about a true footballing maverick.

Parklife by Nick Varley. Very good read and a particularly moving chapter about Hillsborough especially as the author was partly involved.
