Ali Yassine

Has anyone read his book 'was it something i said' ? I'm looking at buying a book for the summer and wondered if it was a good read

must be joking he talks enough shite down the ground ,why the hell you'd want to read about an announcer is beyond me ,hardly gonna be a great read !!!..more to the point who the hell wanted to print a book for him.

In my opinion it is well worth a read.

Like most of these sort of books it is very short - so will only take an hour or so of your life.


Have you read Earnie's mini-autobiography that came out around Christmas? Also very short - and no work of literature - but worth a read, and brings back memories.

Andy Leggs short read is brilliant.

Is Ali's book just about the football or about him in general? An extremely interesting guy.

It is mainly general stuff and about the tannoy - and the sub-culture, the friendships and feuds, of stadium announcers.

I would have liked more about the BBC and his work away from the stadium - and also the snippets and interviews he has done on World/Player.


Still, if you don't expect too much I think you will get a good little read and some shared memories.

Yeah I've met him a number of times and he has some great stories about his directing things like Eastenders.

Ali's book is well worth a read, mainly ablut the City, some Wales stuff too. Interesting what he has to say about Toshack!

Cheers lads. Ill have a look at some of your other suggestions too

Honestly if you can get the Andy left one then do it. Prob the best book I've read even tho it was short.

Alright ill take your advice i think ill buy a few now

I meant Andy Legg

Charlie oatway short read is another good read

Good book, you should get it. It's about his time as a travelling city fan and being announcer at millenium stadium and ninian park

Buy Phil Stant's - one of the best books I've read for a while

Also Phil Dwyer's is a good read as well
