Picked up a few football books recently from a charity shop and got a real bargain.One is called:Sing When You're Winning by Colin Irwin about the football songs and chants sung by fans all over the country etc.And the story of Keith Houchen called: A Tenner and a Box of Kippers.I'm always on the look out for football and Boxing books and have got a decent collection now.My best ever buy was a few years back when I managed to bag myself a large bundle of old Ring magazines the bible of boxing publications.

In Houchens book I forwarded to his City days and believe it or not his biggest regret at the Cup Final was him not getting to hold the FA Cup on his own as only four players got the chance.I was there that day and thought all the players posed with the trophy,but obviously not.He gets one of the best ever goals in a final but this still niggles him.
Best football autobiography I ever read was "Clough - The Autobiography". Absolutely brilliant. No holds barred. Even if you didn't like the bloke, you would love this! If you ever see it in a charity shop or similar, pick it up and buy it! You won't be disappointed!
