I find older or lower league ones tend to be more interesting that the current top players. A bit more honest and a side of football you don't see as much.
Only a Game - Eamon Dunphy
Where’s Your Caravan? - Chris Hargreaves
Massively Violent & Decidedly Average - Lee Howey
A Life Too Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke - Ronald Reng
Provided You Don’t Kiss Me: 20 Years with Brian Clough - Duncan Hamilton
and football related but not massively biographical
My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes - Gary Imlach
A Season With Verona - Tim Parks
and the various Michael Calvin titles
I tend to just add them to my wishlist and keep an eye out for when the price drops and buy them then.

Jon Parkin's book is hilarious. Read it in an afternoon on holiday.
Not an autobiography but an excellent read about north west football is On The Brink by Simon Hughes.
