That is an excellent book. Explains a lot about the Italian psyche, not just football.

Tony Adams biography is worth a look too.

For me it would be:-

1) All played out – Pete Davies, Diary type book leading up to and covering the 1990 World Cup.

2) The Professor: Arsene Wenger at Arsenal by Myles Palmer

3) Bob Wilson: My Autobiography : Did not expect this book to be that good. but it was.

4) Who Ate All the Pies?: The Life and Times of Mick Quinn by Mick Quinn and Oliver Harvey

High up on the South Downs.
A Strange Kind of Glory by Eamon Dunphy is about Matt Busby but also looks at the slightly shady nature of pro football from its earliest days.
Colin Shindler's study of what happened to the youth players who played in a Man City v Utd match is excellent. George Best and 21 Others is the title I think. Covers the uncertainty of making the grade very well.
Dunphy's diary account of a season as a Millwall player Only A Game? is also very good.
Morbo , a history of Spanish football, by Phil Ball is a good read.

Plenty of others.
