Newtons book is a great read.
Longs is rather funny but not a great insight into the sport.
Barries is again a good read, intresting to read about his early years at wigan and breaking through to the first team

Best one i've read so far is "dont die with the music in you" Wayne bennett. If that book doesnt inspire you to do better in life theres sommat up with you!

"Well, I think in Rugby League if you head butt someone there's normally some repercusions":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25511.jpg



I've never read and never owned a sporting biography/autobiography. Many sportsman are barely interesting doing the sport bit.

[quote="G1":1x8x7ghm]Nice one Andy. You articulated a differing opinion given reasons and substance. There's really no place for the likes of you on Substandard. :wink:[/quote:1x8x7ghm]:7098.jpg



Senior's was OK but not as good as Barrie's or Newton's for me.

Sean Long's was dreadful, but at least the content seemed to match the individual.

Buderus' was pretty dull after the early parts.

In other sports I agree with the comment above that Flintoff's was awful. I did however find Matthew Hoggard, Graeme Swann and Marcus Trescothick's books to be interesting reads.

I read Tony Adam's and Vinnie's Jones' year ago and thought the first was excellent, the latter on a par (perhaps slightly better) with longs.

Peter Risdale's about Leeds United was interesting if slightly unbeliveable.

Former liverpool hardman tommy smith wrote a great autobiography. Well worth a read

If your not cheating, your not trying. Barrie Mcdermott:icons3ae4_files/4541-162reymo-msnicons.jpg



Quote: El Diablo "I have a copy of Lance Armstrong's book in my waiting list shelf. This I have bought because I feel there is a story more remarkable than mere sport in there and I am interested to read it. I will (and do) read sporting biographies if I suspect that they are truly interesting stories, not just about sport.

Doesn't always work. Freddie Flintoff's was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. One of my favourites is "Hands of Stone
Agree re flintoffs book. Always liked him and was very dissapointed. For me one of the better recent rugby books was Barrie mac's

One of the better rugby books I've read is John Bentley's - more colourful than the average sporting biog.
