I'm getting bored with the usual who are we buying bull & thought a bit of culture was needed........Please dont mention Frank talking by Mr Lampard.

Ade wrote:Dunno if you've read it, but All Played Out by Pete Davies is my favourite book about football. It's about Italia 90, which is obviously a bit old now, but it really encapsulates the transformation of England in that era and is beautifully written - he's written a couple of novels too. I picked it up in the middle of my exams and didn't get out of bed for two days. Pot of tea, packet of Digestives, that book propped up on my knees…bliss.

If you're English, and you wanna hang on to the memory of when supporting England actually meant something, and meant something to the players too, dig it out.

Gotta agree with you about "All Played Out" Ade, it was one of the first Footie books I read when I got into that side of things and can now be called a classic.
I have many autobiographies too but the ones that stand out for me are "Addicted" by Tony Adams and "Left Foot Forward" by ex Charlton Journeyman Garry Nelson..... Both worth a try if anyone get's the chance.

You should get in touch with Jimmy if you can and tell him to add another chapter...He could start writting it next Wednesday morning!
It can be called.........













Put out of Europe by the mighty LFC!
