philliggi Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Anyone read these books? Just wondering how many are in the series and if they are worth a read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Ive had a read of the 1st(i think it was the 1st) book. It was a while ago, and for as good an insight it was, i found whoever it is thats written them to come across as a bit of a knob. Cant remember exactly why i get that feeling but it remains. I think it was something along the lines of the fans are clueless and being quite dismissive of us. Dont get me wrong some fans are complete tools but i reckon a fair few have a good view on the game and share good analysis. If you watch football for as long, and as much as possible, as a fair few do you'll get a decent understanding of whats right and whats not. On top of there are those who will have played at a decent non-league level. His argument, i think, was along the lines of fans should keep quiet and pay there money as they have no idea of what we do. Might be wrong though, its been a while like i said.

leeslover Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I've read a few of them. Feels like he's milking it a bet in the later ones but they are an interesting read. Be good for taking on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It was Dave Kitson, that came out a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Ben Smith - Journeyman. Really good read. Non-league/lower league player. Good insight into how things work at the lower levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) I've read it's a few different players a ghost writer has put together to make it sound like it's one player. That's what makes me question wether or not to bother with it. Just wondering weather to go for just the first book or dive in feet first and go for the box set if people reckon it's worth it Edited November 17, 2017 by philliggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I always had it pegged as a football book equivalent of X Factor and for that reason I was out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I've read three of them. I enjoyed the first, the second wasn't as good and the third was just plain boring. And, as each book progresses, he does come over as a bit of a self righteous twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The first was a really good insight. Not bothered with the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
