Shattered Dreams is my favouite football related book for obvious reasons, but if you had to choose one that was not Cardiff City related then what would it be.
For me it has to be Paul Mcgraths aoutobiograpy "Back From The Brink, a fantastic read in my opinion.

Ray Kennedy's autobiography ................ my dad had Parkinson's so I can relate . Also Steve Claridge's book is a very good read especially in the light of the Rooney bollox today and how much cash the modern day footballer demands !

Shattered Dreams is best CCFC (also like C'mon City plus soul crew stuff)
Phil Stants Autobiography is class
Jeff Stellings book is great.
Enjoyed Tony Cascarino's book and Stuart Pearce's.

black and blue by paul canoville is one of the best books you will read.
left back in time, len ashursts book is worth a look if you can find it, hes a very very odd bloke whos led a very interesting life, very little on cardiff city in it though.
didn't think a lot of dave jones book to be honest, shattered dreams is the best cardiff book, i heard that jason perry and phil dwyer were writing books, don't know if theres any truth in it but they would be worth buying

Roy of the Rovers for me, you can't beat the classics.
Classics not Plastics.

I quite enjoyed Alex Ferguson's Autobiography.
I found shattered dreams a cracking read. (the antics with the bus was quality)
Sat Oct 23, 2010 1:26 pm
Non ccfc, Roy Keanes book just for the honesty, especially as he was still playing at the time.
Ccfc related, Soul Crew by Lakey is my favourite.
I did find Riddlers interesting mind.

Among the Thugs, by Bill Buford. Late 80's football culture from an outsider's perspective. Entertaining anecdotes and interesting analysis. No disrespect to authors present, but top of it's genre.
