TOP SPORTS AUTO BIOGRAPHIES

Just read my blogs last 7 posts sounds like a manic depressants hence a non twist post needed.

Bought a new book at the weekend - Through the eye of the Hurricane which is Alex Higgins autobiography. I am a fan of sports autobiography's of troubled characters !! and below are my top 10.

1) George Best - The Good The Bad and The Bubbly - quite simply superb.
2) Addicted - Tony Adams - great read.
3) Gazza - probably Newcastle bias but unbelievable read to see whats in his head.
4) Ronnie O Sullivan - guy is f****ked up.
5) Lance Armstrong ( 2 books) - amazing story of the fight against cancer and his tour wins - without doubt one of the greatest sportsman of my lifetime.
6) Keano - never liked him but a good read.
7) Who Ate all the pies - Micky Quinn - quality absolute howl.
8) Phil Taylor - just for the fact he reckons a ghost lives in his pub - weirdo.
9) Alan Brazils cant remember what its called.
10) Frankie Detorri - just for chapter on helicopter crash and what Ray Cochrane did to save his life.

A non twist thread :)))))

For non sports then Frank Sinners book is a great read also and by far the funniest comedy act I ever seen live and he has a nationwide tour his year so try and see him if you can.
