I think Pirlo's book is meant to be good.

I think I'll pass on that one..

Unlike his career Cascarino's book was surprisingly decent.

I don't mind Sutton as a pundit. He is less bland than many of his contemporaries.

And lovely cross from Isaiah Osbourne. Must say I'd forgotten he made a positive impact for us.
I was at that game and thought Isaiah Osborne would be the next big thing.

I watched him play on Monday. He's a decent player in league one these days.

I recall Isaiah being featured in 442 magazine as one to watch. Could that really have been around the start of the 00's?

Nah try 2007.

He was another one like Beye and Sali Salifou to somehow stay here for about 5 years and barely play anymore games than that. I'm pretty sure we released Osbourne in summer 2011. He ceased being a regular member of the squad once we got knocked out of Europa league in February 2009!

I would recommend "Greavsie: The Autobiography" to those old enough to remember the player.

I agree, Cascarino's book was one of the best football biogs I have read.

Not afraid to talk about his massive insecurities.

Don't get me wrong, he's a barely literate utter fucking twat on Sky Sports. His book was good, though.
