Two Brothers - Jonathan Wilson's book on the Charlton's. As always, the social context around the footballing events in the book are well researched and always more interesting than the football parts. Busby isn't painted in the best light, with even Bobby being critical of him as he got older. There are massive gaps in the timeline though but that can be expected with the lack of activity after Bobby's playing days and Jack managing us. 7/10.

Gaffs - Rory Hearne.

Timeline of how the housing crisis has been created and developed. The detail from roughly 2005 - 2020 and how it has lead to the current crisis is excellent. It's slightly repetitive in places but that's to be expected. 8/10.
Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic."

Good writer Jonathan Wilson thanks for the heads up I may well get this.

Not a bad book. He loves himself though. 

He has come a long way from posting on ybig and getting pick pocketed in Barcelona
