Simply rad was ok, well written but pretty bland a bit like joynts , Longy's was like him very entertaining, I wouldnt expect a pie eater to appreciate it though. |

12 'Long' years of having their nose rubbed in it by Sean evidentley still hurts... |

Larry Writer's "Bumper, The life and times of Frank Bumper Farrell" is the only book which has a proper whole life view - absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
The vast majority are dribble - issued to make a few coppers at the ends of careers, transcribed by a few journos yearning to be real writers.

Andrew Johns' book by a country mile. Rivalled only by Agassi's as the best sports autobiography i've read and I reckon I've got over 100 on the shelf at home.

Came out in 2003 I think it was, but can't find it on Amazon or Ebay, and not sure if anywhere else in UK would do it...

I was so looking forward to Newloves book but it turned out dreadfully written. Hope Gary Connolly goes ahead and writes one as he has hinted at. For me it is Wayne Bennett , Scully and iestyn Harris

Joey johns is my fave by a distance. Longys is good for the tales and thats about it.
Stanley genes is decent but poorly written and not very long- but gives you an insight in what the PNG legend has gone through to make it from a mudhut to SL.
Very Slightly OT, does anyone know of any that are out for the kindle as im going to OZ so obviously not logging arounds books.

One I bought on Kindle was Matty Johns ' Tales from the Sheds ' not a 'Auto' but stories of some of the players he has played with and against. Worth a read

Tawdera nikau's is very very good, written after his amputation. It's a great read especially since he was seen in a very specific way by fans for most of his career. Certainly the tale behind him and Richie blackmore's fall out is worth reading
