I am a quite a fan of books and over the last few years I have taken to reading the autobiographies of ex LFC players.

So far I have read Gerrard's, Carragher's Fowler's Torres, Dalglish and I am currently reading Ian Rush's.

Fowler book was quite a read, but and so was Daglish's but have to admit so far Ian Rush's is the book that has really grabbed my attention.

you really feel your a part of his whole journey, from start to end.

especially when he describes the Roma penalty win, to clinch the European cup.

Which ex LFC PLAYER autobiography do you feel is the best and why.


I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

Good post and nice to talk about something other than our manager. To be honest I'm about to start reading the autobiographies of our players. The Torres one I'm not too fussed about. Far too many pictures and its clearly written for younger audiences cashing in. I've read Carragher's and thought it was brilliant, particularly the chapters on Houllier, Instanbul and his take on Michael Owen's departure. The next one up for me was going to be Reina's.

I think the worst one was Torres. I enyoyed Fowlers and Caraghers books. I like it when they are honest and tell you how it was rather than go for sensationalist headlines to get you to buy the book.

Haven't read Torres,is it awful? Ian Rush was probably the best one I read.

Roy Keane's book is very good,very honest.
The Rebel who would be King by Phillipe Auclair,which is about Eric Cantona is an excellent read.

Try " No Half Measures " by Graeme Souness, worth a read.

I've read Gerrards, Carra's & Dalglish's, also I've read Roy Keanes which I thought was really good.

Dalglish's was the best read out the 4.

I think I might download Rush's to my Kindle then have a read of that.
