Was it put together in a rush post his notice to retire, to hit the Xmas market?

I still haven't got more than part way through Mike Gregory's book & i don't think i ever will....i have come to the conclusion biographies are not for me any more. I have got Sean Long's if any body wants it.

got it for xmas..will read it when in egypt in february...cant see it being as bad as what most on here are saying

Yes that is the one. I had to have it sent over from Australia as it is very difficult to source it over here.

Actually I have remembered a rugby league autobiography that is quite good, Robbie Paul's book 'Rugby Warrior'.

There's so much else to read that I can't imagine wasting my time on this sort of (auto)biography. Nikau's was good, I'll admit. I don't read many (auto)biographies but I am tempted to read Alex Ferguson. And, in fact, am currently in one of my rare ventures into the genre as I am reading Morrissey's.

I will be honest, autobiographies are my preferred reading in the main. I can recommend Ferguson's. I like the fact, that, usually, you get to see another perspective to people. It isn't always the case, but more often than not, you do learn quite a lot from them.

Please, please, please let me tell you what you want. Go and and buy Stephen Patrick Morrissey's autobiography - it is not only a fascinating insight into the finest lyricist this country has ever produced, and one half of one of the finest music & lyric collaborations the world has seen, but it's got a lovely picture on the cover too.

Briers autobiography probably has more on rugby, totty and lager in it, but Mozzas (no not that one) has more withering put-downs than Ganson & Silverwood put together have ever heard, which is quite a statement I'm sure you'll agree.

Great musician but a first class bellend!

Autobiographies aren't my thing either, but were I to recommend one;

Read Billy Connolly's. It probably wont stop you complaining, but it may make you think twice before doing so. It's bloody inspirational.

Mal Reilly's is a good one.

I enjoyed Lenny Mcleans The Guvnor.

Longs was terrible, surely Briers can't be as bad as that? I read Mike Gregs, well worth reading. Radlinskis and Barrie Macs are two of the better ones that I have read.

longs is worth reading just to see how bad it is.

I loaned that out to someone a while back and told them not to bother returning it, however if you haven't read it, because of word of mouth has put you off, i reckon its worth suffering through. Plus it answers a few questions to things throughout the last 15 or so years.

not got round to reading it yet but hes a very very clever person who was never afraid to upset certain individuals....great musician.you either love him or hate him...
