    Can anyone recommend a decent biography from a former toon player or manager?

    I've read all of Sir Bobby's books and they're a great read. I've tried to find if Shearer has done one but from looking online it doesn't look like he has.

    If anyone could recommend one it would be much appreciated.

    Cheers <ok>

    I can imagine Gazza being able to tell a few cracking stories so I'll have a look around and see if I can get one <ok>

    If you just want a great football book try The miracle of Castel di Sangrio by Joe McGinnis. It's a really well written book about a season in the life of an overachieving Italian lower division side by an American author who spent the year with them. It's in a completely different class to any ghostwritten football autobiography.

    Reading something decent instead and get ahold of missing 411. Really interesting and creepy reads.
