I just finished the book GERRARD - MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Truly an amazing read. No surprise that it was awarded the Sports Book of The Year 2007 in the Galaxy British Book Award. Gerrard brought us through his life from the words of Henry Winter and Paul Joyce. From his humble beginnings in Ironside to his Liverpool debut, from his first cap for England to Istanbul glory. It was so absorbing that I finished the 500-page book in just 2 seatings.

Prior to this, I have read Ryan Gigg's autobiography, equally inspiring and also the official autobiography of David Beckham - who took me through his lavish and much celebrated life.

So, any other good books to read regarding football personalities or even about the beautiful game itself?

Let's share

Well here is what Carragher's book looks like. Stupid Ryan (MyRAWK's Torres) still has my Shankly book! It's been with him for the past 4 years and he's told me the pages have come off! Grrr.. 

Speaking of Jamie Carragher, here are some excerpts taken from Steven Gerrard's autobiography regarding Carragher and his commitment towards the team during their course towards Istanbul Glory in 2005.

"We survived because of one man - Jamie Carragher. I looked at Carra and saw a man hell-bent on not letting the lead slip. He was prepared to offer the last drop of sweat and blood in his body to get us to Istanbul. Carra knows his history and knew what it meant for Liverpool to reach the final. He did everything to prevent Chelsea ruining Liverpool's dream. He tackled, blocked, headed. Good at the Bridge, Carra was a Colossus at Anfield." - On Jamie's performance for the last few minutes against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals, 2nd leg.
