I've got The Ulster Connection but I'm looking for something else, was thinking about Jonathan Wilson's "Angels With Dirty Faces" but open to suggestion, and as I've already a book about us, wouldn't mind something else.

Cryuff's autobiography My Turn
Peter Crouch's book can't remember title off the top of my head, but it's a laugh out loud.
Won't take you long reading The Ulster Connection. It will take you longer scratching your head over the mistakes and the omission of a current NI international.I've got The Ulster Connection but I'm looking for something else, was thinking about Jonathan Wilson's "Angels With Dirty Faces" but open to suggestion, and as I've already a book about us, wouldn't mind something else.

If you're looking for something a bit different, I would recommend The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro, one of my favourite football books. It's about a tiny Italian team who made it all the way to serie B back in 98, journalist follows them for the entire season and captures the highs, lows, genuine tragedy, shady Italian godfather type owner etc...
It's a great story and a solid read, although the author is an american who sometimes feels the need to explain the most basic of football terns and tactics, which is a bit annoying. But theres a chapter where he describes a game they played against Genoa in the middle of a lightning storm which is superb.

A very poor effort mate. Shane Ferguson left out but Jon Daly in. That is the standard of research.Awk FFS, should I give it a miss then? Was going to get it this week.

21st Century Blue is worth a jab if you’ve not read it.

Brilliant Oranje
Although it isn’t factual it is worth a read.The Damned United is good as well. About Brian cloughs brief spell in charge of Leeds
I really enjoyed reading das Reboot by Raphael Honigstein which is the story of how German football reinvented itself, culminating in the World Cup win in 2014.I've got The Ulster Connection but I'm looking for something else, was thinking about Jonathan Wilson's "Angels With Dirty Faces" but open to suggestion, and as I've already a book about us, wouldn't mind something else.

'Gunshots and Goalposts', 'The Story Of Northern Irish Football' (2017) by Benjamin Roberts is a very good read if you are interested in Northern Irish Football both local clubs and the international team. There is an emphasis on history i.e. Linfield v Belfast Celtic etc., politics and conflict within the game interspersed with rioting fans and serious incidents. However it is also up to date and present day.
A season with Verona is a classic book
Bit dated now but I really enjoyed :
Behind the curtain: travels in Eastern European football
You Come with Me - I Get Tickets: On the Football Terraces with the Locals in 15 European Countries
For light holiday reading , the secret footballer books contain some interesting stuff too
It may be out of print now , was years ago I read itSure I’ve heard of it before but can’t find the 15 Euro Countries one, couldn’t point me in the right direction could you please?
Everytime someone asks me to recommend them a football book I give the same answer everytime.
A Season With Verona.
It's old now but still a brilliant book.
