    During recent years there has been a plethora of books covering lives of footballers, some still wet behind the years and obviously published to enhance their already bulging coffers and of course those of their agents and "ghostwriters" Can anyone claim to have read a really interesting "autobiography"  ?

    PS  I have just finished "Big Club, Small Town & Me" by Brendan Flood a director of "The Clarets" and can recommend the book which covers the past three years of the club.

    You make a good point and I have read some really dull ones but Cloughie's Autobiography was a belter.

    It was fascinating getting an insight into "ole bigead" and the relationship he had with Peter Taylor and a few of his main players.

    Alex Ferguson's book was pretty good as well.

    Roy Keane's was absolute rubbish, unreadable and the guy is an idiot.

    I have also tried and utterly failed to read "The Damned Utd" - I found the style unreadable and tedious.
