Wolves reading while on holiday

[Oldskooldayz]

Go to Corfu in just under a month and want to take a book about Wolves this time instead of my usual fiction. I bought my dad a few while he was still with us so I've got a decent back library to choose from but just wondering if any mixers might be able to suggest a gem that isn't in the old man's collection.

Pornhub on my phone or laptop does me just fine.

 

[JC14M5 Wolf]

George Best first book ( i think 1st) good read and spins some dits. Wolves Fan!

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I would have a rest from it mate if I were you. You'll come back refreshed and rarin to go.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Take a Panini World Cup album and have a read through who we will be buying

 

[purplepault69]

Take the Guinness Book of Hit Singles with you and sort out a few tunes for match days as there are a few on here that want everything ditched and to start again

George Best first book ( i think 1st) good read and spins some dits. Wolves Fan!

Have that, great read also re-reading Bobby Charlton's book " My Manchester United Years" which is excellent.

 

[Mighty Thor]

Not wolves but try Marching Powder by Rusty Young. Real life about the prison experience of a Brit that got caught smuggling the devils dandruff out of Bolivia. Great read and you will look really cool reading it around the pool. Win win

A good few years ago my friend's son (aged 12) asked me could he borrow some football books from my collection. I said no problem.

My friend came back to me a couple of weeks later saying he was shocked when he went into his son's room one night to see the lad reading "The Good the Bad and the Bubbly"

I bought David Instone's "Between the Golden Lines" from the man himself a couple of weeks ago and am going to read it on hols next week.

Not Wolves.....but I couldn't put The Damned United down once I started it

 

[Olivergoldblack]

'Stan cullis the iron manager' is really good.

 

[Mr Wolf]

I don’t think we’re playing Reading this summer.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Another vote for the iron manager.

For a non-wolves good read Stephen Leather’s Private Dancer was interesting

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Waggy’s book is a great read

 

[Wolf316]

Not Wolves.....but I couldn't put The Damned United down once I started it

Agreed and Cloughies autobiography is excellent too.

 

[LG Wolf]

Forever Young by Oliver Kay is excellent. Tells the story of Adrian Doherty, the ‘forgotten’ Fergie fledgling.

 

[Tring Wolf]

The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro by Joe McGuinness is a great football book. As is White Angels by David Carlin and Bobby Robson’s autobiography.

As for Wolves, another vote for The Iron Manager.

Amazing book! I hate reading and couldn't stop reading that on my honeymoon even staying up late.

 

[Deak77]

I'd recommend any of the Secret Footballer books,if you've not already read them. Also got through Steven Gerrard's book in the space of a week on holiday a couple of years ago,a very good read.

 

[Corporal Hicks]

Don't have any Wolves books myself but a keen biography reader. Alex Fergusons is good and just recently finished a Roger Federer book, all very interesting.

I can highly recommend Dallaglios rugby tales about behind the scenes rugby stories, some cracking stuff in there as you can imagine! I couldn't put it down.

Looks like you have plenty of material to choose from, enjoy your hols

 

[UEAwolf]

The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro by Joe McGuinness is a great football book..

This. Must read imo. Wonderful story.

 

[UEAwolf]

There are very few good football books out there. I'd say Michael Calvin's trilogy is essential - as is the Miracle of Castel di Sangro. Jonathan Wilson's books are also pretty decent.

 

[TheRetroChief]

How is it that no-one has recommended this page turner...

 

[paulhick]

Not wolves but Tony Adams book was really good.

 

[MonkeySpanner]

I love to go a Wandering written by a MolMixer apparently. I haven't read it my self yet although I have a copy. I'm not a very good reader unfortunately.

 

[JadeWolf]

I have a copy of the Iron Manager, somewhere! Free to a good home, like the last book

 

[Oldskooldayz]

Thanks for the suggestions, looks like I'll be downloading 2/3 books as most are only 200 pages or so long and I'd be lucky if 1 book would last me longer than the outbound flight

 

[Wonder Boyo]

The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro by Joe McGuinness is a great football book. As is White Angels by David Carlin and Bobby Robson’s autobiography.

As for Wolves, another vote for The Iron Manager.

One of my most favourite books of all time along with A Season with Verona by Tim Parks.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

All of Calvin's books are great, and The Miracle of Castell do Sangro is amazing. If you liked that one you'll also love A Season with Verona by Tim Parks.

Im off to Mexico next weekend and wanted general recommendations (doesn't even need to be football - Do i need to put this in the OT forum??).

I too hate reading but i've previously read a load of Autobiographies which all seem to descend into something not dissimilar to Alan Partridges "Needless to say I had the last laugh" type experience.

I enjoyed a Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson and i was gonna try (dont laugh...) Mort by Terry Prachett.

I've taken a few recommendations from here but like i say It doesn't need to be footy or sport related. I'm not a fan of books with foreign names in as i find it disrupts my reading flow, when everytime i come to it, I find myself pondering for far too long about how the name might be pronounced.

 

[Forza Wolves]

El Macca is good, Steve McManaman autobiography about his time at Real Madrid

 

[scrufftyguy]

“Billy Wright: A Hero for all Seasons” is well worth a read. Paperback is available used on Amazon for £3.89 or new for £85.70... Billy Wright: A Hero for All Seasons https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1861055285/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pfB.Ab8RR97QH

 

[Kenny Hibbitt is my hero]

Also got through Steven Gerrard's book in the space of a week on holiday a couple of years ago.

You must be really quick at colouring in

 

[johnnybetchas]

Read loads of football books but the best in my opinion is "Greavsie" obviously by the great Jimmy.

 

[StourWolf1]

Just started reading David Instone's 'Between the Golden Lines' ... if you were around in the 80's / 90's - an excellent read!

 

[Stratman Wolves]

I love to go a Wandering written by a MolMixer apparently. I haven't read it my self yet although I have a copy. I'm not a very good reader unfortunately.

I have begun reading it, I am enjoying it!

 

[Scadwolf]

I have begun reading it, I am enjoying it!

Dave Jones’s “No Smoke without Fire” is a good read, documenting his struggle to clear his name

 

[hoop]

The Hearbreak Game - Ted Farmer

 

[Dubwolf71]

Not Wolves.....but I couldn't put The Damned United down once I started it

Thought that was a great book.

 

[Stoichkov]

All Played Out by Pete Davies, behind the scenes at the 1990 World Cup. Some great Wolves references

What a summer that was......
