Burnley Players Autobiography

Post by Moorite » Fri Mar 08, 2019 6:34 pm

How many of our players past or present have had books published? I'm currently reading Peter Crouch's, how to be a footballer.

I suppose the next question is which one should I read next. I've read Joey's and most of Crouchys.

I quite enjoyed reading Stan's autobiography, opens with him receiving a call from Vinny Jones calling him a fat bas**rd if I remember correctly. He also recalls the incident with Warnocks staff listening to his team talk through the door. He also tells of having a scrap with a player on the training ground but I can't remember who it was with, anyone?

Think he had "words" with Andy Cooke.

Ron Futcher wasn't at TM when Stan as manager - unless they were together at another club.

If it refers to Stan's time in charge here I always thought it was Glen Little he had an altercation with.

He wasn't too complimentary about Stan shall we say.

It was while they were both at Bradford City in the 80's.
