Indeed that would be me

As Gaz or "The Phoenix" which is wrong BTW

I've just about finished reading it, and I've gota say, its an awesome book. I'm glad I got it signed as well.

If you've read it, what are your impressions? I like his night out stories, but the most interesting bit for me was about the club, I've seen the bit about culture quoted, but more importantly the way the club went down-hill in the latter years of Whelan and Mo's Regime.

I've read it in a few books now, Monies, where he talks about how he was fired with the clause snuk into his contract, and how Central Park was run at the end. As well as signings, and Mo going for the big names to draw attention to himself as opposed to something that was right for the club. I've read Mike Gregorys book, and his treatment by the club is nothing short of disgusting, and then theres Radders, who talks about Culture, and players spending a chunk of their wages on training gear and the likes, and then of course Milward.

Frankly, reading these accounts its no suprise the Club went down hill as fast as it did, reading about the moral in the dressing room, and the lack of leadership.

If you read it what where your thoughts?

Arrived today. I was going to wait until next week on holiday to read it but have already started.

Almost signed for Saints

Thankfully he came to his senses,,,,,,,what would have happened to super Wello

Oi mouth

.

Sent the mother/slave for it today. Had to train tonight so gonna start reading tomorrow.

Sat chilling on the new couch reading it eh Woody?

Bought mine for £11 from Waterstones today online. Hope it turns up before the weekend!

Just this minute finished it. Thought it was brilliant

The Gary Connolly and Brian Carney tales are belters





Kris Radlinski, what a man! Definitely falls into the legend category

The Radlinski final chapter was amazing deffo a legend.

I'll finish it today. The decorating can wait.

I bloody hate Millward.

Looking forward to reading the book although it may be a while until i get my hands on a copy. After spending 2 hours in waterstones waiting to get Del Toro's signature i dont want to see another book shop for quite a while yet!

Hope there is a decent part about the 2002 CC final, Radlinski's finest 80 minutes for me, he was awesome that day.

You don't know him, do you?

It is a fantastic read. Reading between the lines i don't think it's difficult to work out who he thinks were 'big-time charlies' and deserved to leave Wigan.

The Radlinski final chapter is awesome. I feel complete now, having been at the final, also seeing the video Faz filmed and now the chapter from the man himself.

A feature on Kris will be on Sky's Boots 'n' All this week. I assume they were down filming on Saturday?

Not personally, but I have finished the book and know of a few other players who were not keen on his "management style"

The book is a fantastic read, probably the best RL autobiography I have ever read.

well well well Mr Rouse!

I remember a thread I started about 6 months ago asking who people hated in RL. You said Id gone OTT with that word.

Im glad he changed your mind

Could I borrow it for my hols?

Accepted and it's not a word I should have used.


It just proves it was one of Maurices biggest ever mistakes at Wigan.

When are you going?

Shouldn't be a problem, when do you go???

Life is one long holiday for you now Brian !!!

Best one I've personally read is Barrie Mac's, thats a fantastic read.

Radders book is one of the few that has actually made me laugh out loud though. Some of the stories in that are awesome. Carney riding a bike slaughtered, only stopping to climb a tree and fall out of it.

Connolly sounds like a great guy as well.

A lot on here have commented previously on Carneys last year at Wigan.
I wonder how much that was influenced by Millwards style of management, and as Rads and Carney were good mates, Millwards particular treatment of Radders.

It's 14.99 Waterstones online?
