| Quote ="wharfedale"I found Lee Jackson's book a bit tedious, Baz's book was good as was Sean Long's but =#FF00BFStanley Gene's is great. If you are a Hull FC supporter , you might struggle with the Rover's connection but you have got to love the stories and details of his background. Hilarious in parts.'"
Absolutely agree, I thought it was great, some very funny tales of culture shock, well worth buying.

| brad fittlers is classic along with andrew johns which is also a top read..stay away from jamie peacocks, it gets boring listening to all the success whilst at bradford..
other autobiographys of note not associated with rugby are micky quinns, that is a beltin read along with deano's book

| Lee Jacksons book was a good read as was Webkes and Peacocks but for me Barry Macs and Stanley genes are the best iv read......stay away from Schofields,what a bore!!!
Does anyone remember the book wrote by dick tingle about his years covering FC?? think it was called beards buttons and blue movies...read it a few years ago but what i remember of it it was quite good.

It is , Baldy lent me his copy a couple of years back .Lindsey and Whelan don't come out of the whole Gregory episode with much credit at all.
Schofield's book was just a winge from start to finish I thought and Barry Mac's isn't a bad read too.

| Barry Macs is the best for me, Stevo's is a good read as is Mal Reilly and Jonathan Davies. Thought Peacocks and Sculthorpes a bit boring.

| Mike Gregorys is simply superb......Lindsay and Whelan got shown up for what they are..a couple of w@nkers...Andy Gregs is a good read along with Stevo's and Barry Macs...one of the worst i read was Jason Robinsons...ended up ramming his religion down your throat.

| Going O/T......Herchelle Gibbs looks to be a bloody good read and 1 of the best is Dickie Birds....bloody Hilarious...read quite a few cricketing ones and football ones...also Martin Johnsons is a suprisingly good read and gives a glowing report on league.

| Buy any (or preferrably all) of Geoff Lee's [url=http://www.geofflee.net/Four Seasons[/url books and you will not go far wrong. They tell the game from a family and social aspect.
Well worth a read

| Just finished Reilly- Mal Reilly's book great read..picked it up only £5 off amazon and was signed when it arrived. Wayne Bennett's is one of the best for me. The biggest disappointment was Kevin Ward. Another great read Matty Johns- Inside the sheds- Brilliant read

| Not an autobiography as such, but I was bought 'Funny Stories in Rugby League' by Maurice Bamford last year. Some great stories in there, and gives a great insight into what RL was like from the 1940's onwards at all levels.
