2008-03-06 Enjoyable read

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have ever considered buying this book. But I entered a competition with Ginsters and won a signed copy.
Despite the fact that he has gone to Leicester (I'm a Forest fan) and I should therefore hate the guy, I enjoyed the book and learned a lot about a guy I had always considered to be a complete fruitcake.
The story of an honest bread and butter footballer and manager, not a superstar, and all the more enjoyable for that.
