Currently more than halfway through Arnold Schwarzenegger's book and It's been an excellent read so far. Really enjoy reading autobiography's. Thinking of buying Ozzy Osbourne's of Amazon, a reckon his life story would be a good read.
Anyone else into them or read any that they could recommend?

Tried Cantona's but christ the first 30 or so pages bored the * off me I couldnt stick it.
Something a little different was Jay Dobyns book "No Angel" its all about him going undercover in the hells angels, really recomend it.

Not strictly an autobiography, but memoirs of sorts:
Any of Che Guevara's own works, but in particular (i.e. my personal favourite) Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War :50: -
Cheers guys, ill look these up am sure you'll get them cheap on Amazon:50:
Also someone like Nelson Mandela or one of they astronauts then on the moon, someting different would bee good aswell, if they ever did right any:56: -
Frank MacAvennie..Scoring: An Experts Guide.
Its a very eventful read, typical Frankie, he doesnt hold back in it.
Or, if you like a good laugh..Peter Kay: The Sound Of Laughter.Last edited by a moderator: Jan 11, 2013 -
You wouldnt call them Biographies but Ross Kemps gang books are well worth a read, go into much more detail than the programs.

Ronnie o sullivans
Tony casgorino
Bobby Charlton
Matt le tissea
The guy from "the royal family" ricki Tomlinson is a great read he led quite a life before acting was in the jail for being a bit off a socialist it's a cracking read -
You will need to have a good look for it, because it's a good 15 years old, but Harry Redknapp's book is absolutely hilarious.
Hate him but fair play to him, his book is excellent. -
a great read.
Not technically an autobiography I suppose but * it :smiley-laughing002: -

Not really into autobios, they bore the * out of me.
However, Frank McAvennie's was a cracker. Really enjoyed reading it.
Have had the autobiography of Malcolm X for some time but haven't got round to reading it. -
The very first book I read from start to finish was Frank Skinners autobiography. Would definitely recommend it.
-
In the middle of Suttons. First chapter was pretty sad.
-
Its a great read mate, loved watching Frankie on the pitch and his book didnt disappoint either :50:
-
Cascarinos is outstanding - really honest.
Sutton's is good as well. For comedy value Alan Brazil's 'there's a lot of bubbly in Brazil' is outstanding. Some of the stuff he got up to is so outrageous ye couldn't make it up.
Pele is really honest in his anaw - basically just a *!
And out of left field - in the middle of reading Mark twaddle's the now. About his gambling addiction and it is really harrowing how quickly somebody can destroy their lives with betting. Well worth a look and i think its less than a couple o quid for yer kindle the now. -

Roy Keanes is a very enjoyable read. Definitely explains where his mindset came from. And the section on the haffeland (can't spell) tackle is brilliant
-
Really like Ross Kemp myself, I would imagine those books would be good look them up.
Just ordered Frankie boys book of Amazon for £2:81:icon_mrgreen:
Will definetely give Suttons a read at some point. Maybe not Pele's, guys a clown, he's never honest in his opinion about Messi, prefers to say Neymar is the best on the planet when we all no that's lies. He's a jelous *, he wasnt very honest there.
Cheers mate. How you enjoying Arnies book? Am halfway through, in the movies part and loving it. But really loved the first 200 pages about him growing up and then about him starting out in bodybuilding.Last edited by a moderator: Jan 12, 2013 -
Interesting stuff.
Made me change my perception of a few people involved in football as well.
