Balls to Autobigraphies â˝ď¸
A list of autobiographies by footballers - past and present. Most of these are/ have been English players or are related to the English game in some form as I mostly follow the English game. Feel free to suggest other books for this list, and they can be from anywhere!

This book was totally not what I was expecting, and I mean that in a good way! For a long time, I have put off reading this book because of the way that this book is talked about online, but from reading, I can see it's not like that. I think maybe going into this book and not knowing a lot about it made me enjoy it more.
I haven't read a classic in a while so I struggled to read this book at first but once I got through the first 3 chapters or so it got easier. I really liked the writing style as it was really immersive and I felt like I was in the story. I don't know if it's because I'm an acting student but I found it really easy to imagine myself on stage as the narrator.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes classics. I haven't watched the film so I couldn't tell you how it compares but it is definitely worth reading. Also, take with a pinch of salt the kinds of things online about this book - especially what you see on tiktok!

I love book tracking apps, and have so many for different features I love in each but sometimes I feel like that has made reading less fun for me. Like the reading streaks/challenges, how many pages you read in a day etc. I feel like I've started thinking of it as a chore, like oh I have to read to maintain my streak, and sometimes I just close the book when I'm done for my set pages per day. But on the other hand I absolutely love tracking my reading and having all those stats is fun for me, it's just that has all this constant tracking made me read less and made it less fun for me? Would love to hear opinions on this if you've ever thought like that!

Usually, I would write a review here that is positive - sometimes too positive. But for this book I can't do that. I got this book from a hotel library so luckily I didn't have to pay for it because it would've been a waste of money otherwise. This book just wasn't for me. There were so many points within this book that I wanted to DNF, and honestly, I should've done. The writing style and the plot just didn't keep me hooked or interested so I had a hard time reading. I saw a few negative reviews on this book before I read it but I normally take them with a pinch of salt because taste is subjective but honestly I agree with the reviews I've seen.
I won't be coming back to this series and probably won't read anything by these authors again (although I have seen others say that despite this having both authors on the cover it is purely an Andrew Child book so maybe I will try one of Lee's solo books?)
This book wasn't for me (and by the looks of it many others) but as I've said taste is objective so don't be put off because you may love it!
