NSC Book Club - Autobiography special

[Carrot Cruncher]

If anyone's looking to read an exceptional book, look no further than Henry Olonga's. Words like 'brave' and 'legend' get bandied around a bit too easily these days, but Olonga deserves these superlatives.

Oooh. I was waiting for a book from him. Met him outside Lords in 2003(?) and he was an exceptionally nice chap. Thanks for the heads up.

Not quite so groundbreaking, but 'Sold to the Man with a Tin Leg' - Phillip Serrell is an excellent read.

 

[The Spanish]

Biography wise I am reading this at the moment.

Funny as f*** in parts, especially when wined and dined by snobby film execs in LA, after they have sniffed, and swilled, their wine before its poured, he asks the waiter to pour a drop into his palm, which he then holds up to his ear to LISTEN to it.

 

[Normal Rob]

this is a fascinating account of one mans battle with depression...

Has it got the story about how he was robbed by one-time Albion footballer Jimmy Tarbuck?
