Anyone read "And then the sun Shines"? Starts off at Hillsborough and goes through a lot of british life, focusing a lot on how Sky and the Premier League became such a mammoth. Halfway through it at the moment and really enjoying it.

great book a real insight into the life he has led, not sure how 100% true some of his stories are and if he just playing them up but enjoyable read.

I got a good few books there last week so I should be well covered for next month or two



Did the Chili Peppers ever get that scart issue sorted?

Anyone here use Kindle Unlimited? It's £1.99 for 3 months at the moment as a special offer but I've searched for every book mentioned on the last 2 pages and not one of them appeared. Seems to be a crap selection

You can't beat the feel and smell of a real book. I also can't believe somebody is reading Billy Joel's autobiography!

I'm reading it now. I got it in library. Very good book and covers the links between football and British society.The author came close to dying at Hillsborough so the first chapter is a tough read.

I'll take this opportunity to correct you so. It's a biography. He declined a million dollar book deal, as he said if anyone wants to know my life story it's in my songs

Apologies! That's even worse though. He must have led a more tedious life than I previously imagined!
