That’s a brilliant book
Pirlo book is two half decent quote about God not being Italian and the one about playing the Playstation before the World Cup final. That’s all, nothing riveting.
You’d know in fairness.
Harsh?
No - I mean your username and all that.

I ordered Buffon’s book through library there as well last week, but thought better about picking it up. Football autobiographies can be all hit and miss sure.
You’ll finish the Robin Friday book in a weekend - 6/10
Much more miss than hit once you get to footballers from the 90s on I’ve found
Yeah, I’d agree with that. Was meaning to read Tony Adams one, that’s meant to be good.
Just scanned through it earlier.
Apparently he used the phrase ‘in and out like a fiddler’s elbow’ in a press conference with the chairman referring to his previous day’s exploits with his girlfriend,
Nothing much in that.
Your rating is about right.
I just finished this. A great read. A roller-coaster of a career on and off the pitch. Ferguson is brutally honest and doesn’t spare himself. I’d say he always struggled with demons and still does.
I was looking into getting that myself.
I saw an interview he did with Gary Lineker about the book.
He was jailed for head butting an opponent on the pitch as he had a suspended sentence or something at the time,
He was in jail in a right shit hole it would appear:
Also two young lads made the mistake of robbing his house when he was home. He gave one of them a terrible beating and felt bad about it.
He looks disturbingly like John Terry there.
He was in Barlinnie prison in Glasgow. Not a nice place. He battered burglars in his house on two separate occasions.
Mixed with some very shady characters and under achieved in his career mostly down to alcohol and injury.
He comes across as an alright sort but a bit of a nutcase too. He keeps pigeons. Him Mike Tyson and The General are the only 3 people I’m aware of that keep pigeons. None of them were/are sane.
