East Enclosure Row N 2,823 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Have read quite a few autobiographies over the years (football and others). Have just read Doddie's book and a huge amount of it was really just a list of results and scorers through the years. Did anyone else think the same? Admittedly it was a quid in the bargain bookshop :-) Which got me thinking - what are the very best Rangers biographies / autobiographies that you have read?

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Harold Davis was one of the best I've read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Arthur Numan's is definitely the worst I've read, didn't even finish it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Not read too many, Didn't think it would be that great but quite enjoyed Charlie Millers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negri's lovechild 13,988 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Enjoyed the Goalies book, and Souness the management years Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Derek Ferguson's wasn't great either actually. I never took any money off Barry Barry got a lot more money than me I'm not envious of Barry Pretty much the theme in the whole book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranter 136 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Ted McMinn was a really good read. He had a hard family life as a youngster. Had to work hard to get on. But quite a few funny stories as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wully 47,331 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Lee McCulloch's is a real page turner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Novo Goram Butcher Fergson Weir McCulloch Gazza Ricksen Butchers was by far the best. Ricksens is a good read, more for the off the pitch antics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Don't really read them. I can count on one hand any interesting/decent players that's left us and wrote a book that I still respect enough to buy and read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,461 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Found Charlie Miller's to be quite good, although the theme of 'done no bad for a boy fae castlemilk' (or wherever it was) got a bit dull. Gazza's was a belter. Actually found Barry Ferguson's to be decent too. Quite enjoyed Alex Fergusons more recent one (not his first one). Didnt like Weir or McCulloch's. All a bit dull. Some better books from some of the English prem players and managers to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Not really a book reader myself. Ready a couple of chapters of Jig's book a few years back but haven't went back to it. Was quite interesting though. I was about to buy Barton's book just before it all went tits up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Gorams. One of Gascoignes some guy wrote about his time as manager of Kettering or something was a good read too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Gordon Smiths book " And Smith did score " is a really interesting read. Not your usual players book that is ghostwritten and bland. Didn't show John Greig in a positive light at all. Would recommend to all Rangers fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen his DVD and it's immense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
