Ozzy Osbourne's book is very good, not often you end end up laughing out loud at a book but there's some hilarious stories in it.

Totally agree. Only book I've read so far that I've actually laughed aloud.

Nell Mc Cafferty's autobiography "Nell". It's a wonderful book.

George Best, great read.

I read Alan Partridge's "We need to talk about Alan" while on holiday. Seriously funny stuff but unfortunately it is fiction rather than a genuine autobiography.

Tony Cascarino's is very good.

Gore Vidal, palimpsest.
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22.
Brian Keenan, an evil cradling.


My reading of Slash's book confirmed my view of him as one off the most narcissistic d1ckh3ads I've eve heard of. His immaturity is cringeworthy as he seemed to think he had control over his heroin addiction.

Hitch-22 by Christopher Hitchens.

The life of Mel Gibson, a feckin great read.

One of the best I ever read was Michael Parkinson's autobiography. Starts with his youth growing up in a Yorkshire mining town and goes through his long career and his most notable interviews.

Obama's and the lead singer of the RHCP.

One took cocaine and one fancied sinead o connor but was too shy to say it to her.

guess which is which

Alex Ferguson's was a great read, have read it several times

As said multiple times in this thread, Paul McGrath's is brilliant. Tough life he's had but persevered and is one of the all time greats.

Bobby Charlton's book "The United Years" is excellent. Very emotional about the Busby Babes and the Munich Air disaster. Haven't read his book on his England career, although I may pick it up sometime.

Roy Keanes is good, but you can tell who it was ghost written by as some of the rants are very Dunphy-esque

As a Manchester United fan, I begrudingly enjoyed Jamie Carragher's book too.

Slash and Duff from Guns n Roses books are great reads. How one or both of them is not dead is beyond me. Steven Adlers wasn't great though.

Another brilliant read is "On The Run" by Gregg and Gina Hill. They are the kids of Henry Hill (of Goodfellas fame). Insight into how it was for them with their father being involved in the Mafia and drugs as young kids and then to spend the rest of their childhood and adolescene on the run when their father went into the Witness Protection Programme. Their parents, especially Henry Hill don't come out of it too well, as you would expect

I see Tom Dailey won the Bronze last week, got a clean sweep of A,s in his exams

AND yes, he wrote an Autobiography and he's only 18

Come-on people, you's are been had. No-one writes autobiographies anymore.
