stevemac 2,920 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Halfway through Novo's book I said no thanks and just wondering if there are any other good players autobiographies out there. Would also love to read about the historical side to Rangers, specifically the founding years as I love seeing the founders trail type posts on here and hoped someone had put it into a book. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,633 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Stricken with a legendary temper, he was dismissed from the field of play on a record 22 occasions in his career, and the Argentina episode hangs over him still. Alfredo has a lot of catching up to do 😃 Bobby Hume likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Temple of Dreams, Harold Davis, Bobby Brown all great reads. Much prefer the older ex players than the more modern players. Mainly because they lived a life outside of football. Ayrshire Blue and Burnbank Derry like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,891 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Its off to the match I go. This is a fans book of all his years follow following, you will not regret this purchase by a guy called Duncan Whitelaw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,439 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The worst one I've read was Tommy McLean's - basically a book of match stats with very little else to pad it out. Doddie's was much the same to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
