    Away from that god awful season we had to endure, many of us will be off on our jollies over the coming months.

    Personally, I like nothing more than chilling out doing bugger all.

    Therefore, I ask you lot, are there any autobiographies you could recommend?

    Mr Nice! Gordon Ramsay is pretty good too. I Partridge is funny as hell. Music wise I really enjoyed Kid is in the riot: The rise and fall of the libertines.

    All depends what you read mate.

    I'm big into crime books, all of Choppers books are a good read and I would recommend The Krays as well.

    Howard Marks is a good shout, the film about him is quite good too.

    Lenny McClean and Roy Shaws are very good although their both contradict themselves. Football wise Vinny Jones, Keane and Mersons are a good read.
