I am off to Spain next week and want a good read whilst there. Interested in sports books. Havnt read curbs, peacock's or Lennie's autobiography yet. Can you recommend any of them or any others related to football. Cheers.

I loved the Damned United0

i enjoyed Curb's Valley of Dreams? .. i think that's the title0
-
Barca - a People's Passion - Jimmy Burns - a history of the club and its origins/place in Catalan society etc rather than about Barcelona FC. Despite having a British sounding name Burns is Spanish.0
-
Of the three you named I'd only suggest KPs book
The Bromley Boys and 32 Programmes, both by Dave Roberts if you like books by fans about going to football.
Damned Utd is good IMHO

The Garry Nelson books are both excellent.

Just read the blurb. That looks a little heavy, why not try playing some Leonard Cohen in the background to lighten the mood a little? ;-)0 -
Cascarino's is pretty good.
Tony Adam's too.But that's more of a 'good pub guide'.

It does looks a hard read, saw the stuff about when he came back from an op in the US, the physio flew in first class, he was stuck in cattle, and ended up in agony and doing more damage to the knee0

Eug,
have you got the three book box set?
Bartram, Firmani and Seed's biographies.
Cos if you don't I'm selling off a load of old stuff to raise money for the CAFC Academy.
£6 to you but you'll need to arrange to pick up from Bromley or at Bournemouth.

Eug,
If Stig doesn't take you up on that offer I'm defiantly interested?
