Anyone in the North East or Scottish Borders? Pat Nevin is launching the second volume of his memoirs, "Football and How To Survive It " at the Berwick Maltings, on Wednesday 31 May, 7.30pm

Tickets from Berwickmaltings.co.uk

Average entertaining evening assured!! Message me for any more details.

Nope, albeit, I imagine, a lot closer than most on here!

His first book was pretty good, and I idolised him as a kid!

I'm sure you are!!! There might be one or two hidden ones at least in the Edinburgh area....not excluding a certain former STFC player!!!!

She also bought me The Storyteller by Dave Grohl, only done a chapter or so but can't decide whether its going to be any good or a load of pretentious wank so have left it for now?

If you're a Grohl fan it's a good read, otherwise most would probably not find it very interesting. I enjoyed it because he writes a fair bit about his time with Nirvana and coming to terms with Kurt's death.

I've just finished Outlive by Dr Peter Attia, a very good read for anyone interested in health & longevity.

Part way through Johnny Mercer's We Were Warriors which was gifted by a friend after I mentioned I'd taken a recent liking to stuff written by ex-military.

Another post reminded me of how much I hated this book

And yet many years later I still think of it. OK not in a positive way but even so. So did the Author do a good job after all?

No. No he did not.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

What a load of pretentious clap trap. Sure enough, I see it won or was shortlisted for several awards...always a sure sign that a book should be avoided like the plague...

Has anyone read Hoddle's autobiog "Playmaker"? Obviously loads about us and most of it well known but I didn't realise he bought Shaun Taylor with his own money. Was it common knowledge at the time? Also horrified to find out he likes Kenny G- in my opinion,a good enough reason to be sacked by England in its own right,
