[Albion] Albion Autobiographies

[jamie (not that one)]

I have a busy travel schedule for work involving long haul flights and would like to grab a couple of Albion related autobiographies (late 80's, early to mid 90's if possible - nostalgia trip from my youth) to see me through if anyone knows of any?

Cheers!

Garry Nelson - Left Foot Forward and Left Foot in the Grave

 

[Easy 10]

Garry Nelson - Left Foot Forward and Left Foot in the Grave

I hate those "end of thread" posts, but...

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Alan Mullery The Autobiography, a bit early though perhaps, Jimmy Case has written a good one too, can't recall the name of it though.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Micky Adams - My Life in Football definitely.

And as mentioned above, Gary Nelson's.

There's always Charlie Oatway's book. Just to keep the thread going...

Good shout, thanks.

I initially read that as "autographs" and thought "blimey, he's a slow reader"

Alan Mullery's and Peter Wards were both good reads...

Alan Mullery's and Peter Wards were both good reads...

I enjoyed Mullers book too, although he did take poetic license a tad too far, describing his life in London during the blitz. He must have had a remarkable memory, considering he was only born the year the blitz took place, 1941.

Hard Case.

Hard Case.

Appropriate title.

Mark Lawrenson - my journey from fantastic footballer to unfunny whingeing pundit.

What's that? It hasn't been written yet? Just a matter of time, I'm sure ....

An even more appropriate title.

Picked up both Garry Nelson books, Jimmy Case and saw Dick Knight's so went for that too fully expecting a 200 page vanity project. I'll grab Wardy's at some point too.

Thanks all!

Should keep you busy for a bit!

Not Albion but "My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes" by Gary Imlach is an excellent read

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Not Albion, but this is the greatest football book I've ever read. Possibly the greatest book, of all.

Dynamo - Defending the honour of Kiev (Andy Dougan)

Bugle by Robert Codner is an excellent read as is Happy Go Tucky by Stuart Tuck, but I agree that you can't beat Left Foot Forward.

I'd avoid Valur Gislason's encyclopaedia of Medieval Icelandic Poetry though as I found it a little hard going in places, what with not being able to read medieval Icelandic.

The OP is going on a long haul flight. Charlie's book could be read Hove to Brighton shuttle train

Totally agree - fantastic book.
