Carlo's Autobiography

[Term-X 7,891]

Believe it or not, he kicks off the first chapter of the book as follows..

"There are times when I stand up in front of a full-length mirror and act like a contortionist. I twist my neck and I stare at my ass. My fat butt cheeks aren't a particularly edifying spectacle but… over time it's taught me a lesson: my ass is earthquake-proof."

It's £11.99 brand new on amazon atm, and the proceeds of which will go to the Fondazione Stefano Borgonovo for the funding of research on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The guardian have given an overview of the book here..

I think I might buy it at some point, it's a great cause and I'm always interested by managers and footballers' biographies/autobiographies.

"only once in my life have I felt like I needed a psychiatrist … I was looking at Yuri Zhirkov and all I could see was a rib-eye steak."

Brought this Thursday and I'm already done. Its an excellent read.

Fairly short at 250 pages, but every chapter has its point. It's not like other football books which details every season individually, and every story he remembers from being a kid. Most the stories are there to make you laugh, but at the same time have a proper meaning to them, and to his career. Some of his humour and wit is genuinely LOL material.

Anyone with a spare fifteen quid, go and get this.
