Adams and Merson are on my list, not come across the McGrath one yet but I will defiantly keep an eye out for it.

The John Barnes one was great but I'm biased on that as he was there throughout my childhood.
I remember listening to Masch talking about the tactics after the win in Madrid last season. He was talking about how they knew Madrid had no pace in the centre so they could exploit ect....
Love it. 
Carra and Stevie will make great pundits one day, but not before they make great managers.

He tells stories but as he can't remember how most of them ended (blackouts) other people then join in with a few paragraphs of what Paul did next. Drinking Domestos was a bit of a low.

Other good sports book is Jimmy White, mad life he had - even as a kid, Alex Higgins too - first chapter he won the title in 1972, second chapter starts with "and then the slide began"

He was a character okay. Great to see a fatty scoring so many goals.
I don't read the ones still playing unless they've had a crazy life. Most footballers are boring "I was gutted," "I was over the moon" so the screw ups are more interesting.

Spot on, if t hey still have a career then the story is not finished. I made the exception for the Fowler book cause his career ended when he went to Leeds.
