Non-Fiction Book Recommendations (self.reddevils)

crazygameofpoker が 投稿

Hi all,

I am a relatively new football fan (been following it for a few years). I want good autobiographical/non-fiction book recommendations. What are the must reads to catch up on all the history at Man U?

All the following books belong to some of the most influential figures at Manchester United over the last 30 years. I've read them all except Giggs' book and they're all really great to read.

Alex Ferguson's first autobiography

His second autobiography

Roy Keane's first autobiography

His second autobiography

Wayne Rooney

Gary Neville

Paul Scholes

Rio Ferdinand

Ryan Giggs

Was the Scholes one more like a picture book then an actual book? Also can add the Beckham book into the mix.

Scholes' was an actual book, it just doesn't look like one.

My favorite read of the bunch, his and Rooney's. Neville's was very good too.

I read a bunch of them. And a few others like Cantona, Robson, and Charlton. The Scholes one I read felt like a picture book more than an actual book. Wonder if its the same one.

It read like a textbook more to me. Sure, there are more pictures than in other books, but the style was short and simple.

If a textbook reads like a picture book so be it. The focus on the text is 70-30.

got ya. I guess I read the same one then. Text book makes a little more sense than picture book.

It's the same book most likely. Yes, you're right though, in comparison to say Neville's, Giggs' or Rooney's there are different emphases. Scholes' seems like he actually wrote it and put a bunch of pictures in there while all the other one's were written by ghostwriters, other than Fergie's.

I'd start with the reading list from the /r/mufc_history subreddit (which you can find on the right side toolbar): https://www.reddit.com/r/mufc_history/wiki/readinglist

I'm half way through Red - The Autobiography of Gary Neville.

I must say it's very enjoyable. Good insight to him and the Class of '92
