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!

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.

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.

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 ....

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!

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.

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

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


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)


Totally agree - fantastic book.
