Well good for you!!!! So does that make you pathetic then for buying it!!!
People have their own resons for buying or not buying me quite simply I don't wish too as no interest in what he says with regards his life. Obviously you know each one personally to be be able throw out your 'Utterly Pathetic' comment for posters who aint buying it.
So give it a rest you sanctimonious pratt

You " won't be putting any money in his pocket " ...but you still want to know what he's written . Like most Hull fans deep down your gagging to know what really went on .

Odd quote/comment to make. Full of it like you've discovered a dirty little secret, despite several posters (including myself) already stating they're interest in what he says. There'll be a summary on here the day after it's release.
Even the post you quoted says "when you a have all read it enlighten us all on here".

| I'd certainly be interested in what he said though I can't see myself getting a copy other than from a charity shop. I do wonder though if he really can tell the truth about his infamous move. The sorry joke that is the UK legal system which allows those with money to gag factual statements will no doubt prevent any truly dirty bits coming out of the wash. Still you never know.
As for Cooke, if he is genuinely sorry then I can't see the point in harbouring a grudge, I'll save the vitriol for any unrepentant accomplices.

| Does anyone honestly think there will be anything interesting in it? Tales of his early life on longhill, lots of verbage about his parents, how badly done to at Hull he was, why he turned to the bottle and how he spunked away his RL career and around £1/2m by my reckoning. I've never read an interesting RL biography yet and this one won't be any different

I already know and I knew at the time sport is all about money no great mystery, he lost out in the end big time Horne is classed as a legend at the club has a job coaching and will be remembered fondly by hull fc forever, Cooke on the flip side will always be Judas for walking away and leaving the club in the lurch and rubbing our noses in it. many players go play at both hull clubs and are remembered fondly by both except Cookie, after you finish playing which is a long time you then realise its important how your remembered in your career, shame the people who advised him and promised him the earth never explained that to him at the time, its cost him thousands and always will do

Most sports biographies tend to be pretty anodyne affairs although Terry Newton's was poignant as I read it after he took his own life. I've just finished reading Gareth Hock's. When I say finished I don't mean finished to the end. What an absolute prat. I really shouldn't have expected anything else but I thought it might be interesting. He comes across even worse in the book than he does in real life. Luckily it was a library book.

The culture shock elements of Stanley Gene's, make it an interesting and entertaining read, although obviously it will appeal more to robins than airlie birds.
The Cooke book I want to read would be 50% Hull FC, 30% Rovers (including the cross-city switch), 20% Paul Cooke. Which wouldn't be a balanced reflection of his career, I admit.
My suspicion now though is that it'll be unbalanced the other way, with Durham passing over the bits Rovers fans would revel in as quickly as is decent.

| His highlight for rovers was surely the game at the KC where he was dropped for turning up pished? The ground was rocking that day to chants of "where's your cookie gone?" The blokes an idiot so I suspect his book will reflect that. Does he still talk about himself in the 3rd person?

Is there a foreword by Garry Schofield?'"
I heard the foreword is by Neil Hudgell , who supported Cookie and offered legal advice prior to publication of his book .

I think his Dad advised him a lot of the time , and Neil Hudgell was a father figure to him whilst at Rovers .
Cookie did well at Rovers , okay he had his moments but on the whole he was good for Rovers . Helped big time keeping the club in SL and often ripped Hull apart in the derbies and relished in doing so . Great player and a really nice bloke off the field .
Glad he has published his book like he promised him Mum he would , always said he would reveal the truth about how Hull FC really treat him and their failure on their part regarding his contract .
James Rule and Kath Hetherington will be a tad nervous I guess .

Why what happened? Did a surgeon screw up an operation on his writing hand?

Do you undesrstand what a foreword is In a publication ?
Did what surgeon screw up on who's writing hand ?
I'm not one to mock a persons intelligence but your testing me small ears .
Maybe if you had bigger ears you would have listened at school and that would have resulted in you been a tad more intelligent , in hindsight it probably doesn't matter how big or small your ears are you could have ears that Dumbos Dad would would be jealous of but you still wouldn't make sense.

| This forum just gets worse. Ever thread somebody is calling somebody else thick, daft and stupid. If it's something you wouldn't say in person to somebody, don't say it on here.
