With nicknames such as The Eight King of Rome, Totti had other much better possible names for this book.

Driven from his home country due to his uncontrollable temper, Cantona left behind Marseilles, Auxerre, Nimes, and the various other clubs he played for in France, arriving in Sheffield a desolate but still proud figure.

As well as Everton, Ferguson had stints of varying degrees of success and failure with Dundee United, Rangers, and Newcastle United. But he is perhaps best known for his brushes with the law and with home intruders. Famously, he went to jail for headbutting Josh McStay of Raith Rovers and consigned a series of burglars to a si...2025-03-1257 minReboot Republic - Rory Hearne by Tortoise Shack MediaReboot Republic - Rory Hearne by Tortoise Shack Media382.

This is a remarkable and very tragic story, one that is as much about the treatment of Jews in Europe as about Guttman himself. Béla Guttman played football for mostly Jewish teams in his native Hungary and then in Austria and the US. But it’s as a coach that he found global fame, winning the European Cup two years in a row with Benfica in the early ‘60s.

First up is his award-winning biography of Cristiano Ronaldo.   This player certainly needs no introduction but if you insist then 5 Champions League wins, 5 Ballons D’or, and seven straight calendar years in which he scored more than 50 goals will surely suffice.   We had initially planned to read Balague’s Messi biography first, but when we learned we had 7 days to get through its 796 pages, we pivoted and decided instead to read the...2025-01-0159 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 27: Eamon Dunphy - Only a Game?In Episode 27, we take a stroll down memory lane with Ireland’s arch controversialist Eamon Dunphy. Before he became a fixture on Irish television attacking the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rod Liddle, Dunphy was once a footballer.   He is remembered more for his work as a journalist and television malcontent than for his performances for Ireland, Millwall, Reading and Charlton. But it was his 1976 diary Only a Game? that launched Dunphy’s media career, starting him out on a road that led him to becoming a fixture on Irish television channels for around 30 years. 2024-12-1849 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 26: Ferenc Puskás - Captain of HungaryHungary’s ‘Galloping Major’, Ferenc Puskás was a three time European Cup winner and the winner of ten domestic titles, split evenly with five in his home country and five in Spain.   His 1956 autobiography, Captain of Hungary, was written after he led Hungary to the 1954 World Cup final but before his exploits in Spain playing with Real Madrid and a management career that saw him lead teams in ten different countries.

And it's a good one.    Garrincha - which means Little Bird - is remembered by Brazil of being even better than Pele.

And to mark this (kind of) milestone in our podcasting journey, we have indulged Al by delving into the mind of Brian Clough, Nottingham’s most famous man not in tights.   After being forced to retire following a stellar career as a second division striker, Clough became the youngest manager in the football league, when he took over Fourth Division Hartlepools in 1965. It was a less than glamourous beginning to one of the most storied managing careers in English football.   2024-09-1159 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 19: Robbie Fowler - My AutobiographyIn Episode 19, the Ademola Bookmen Podcast takes an ecclesiastical turn with our review of God’s book – Robbie Fowler’s, My Autobiography.   Kop legend and the eighth highest scorer in the Premier League, Fowler notched a total of 183 goals for his boyhood club Liverpool who he left in reasonably acrimonious circumstances in 2001 only to return again in 2006. While he wasn’t scoring goals, Fowler was often getting himself in trouble albeit for more cheeky antics than anything else.

Having been released in November 2022, this is by far the most recent book we have reviewed. Noble famously played for only one club (if you don’t count the time he spent at Arsenal, Hull, and Ipswich) but this book is perhaps most memorable for the revelation that he’s really a Man United fan.   Putting that juicy morsel to one side for a moment, Noble played a million times for West Ham and never for England (or indeed for Ire...2024-07-1758 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 16: Robbie Savage - Savage!Episode 16 focuses on the life and times of that most overlooked of the Class of 92, Robbie Savage. Less famous for his time as an underweight and underscoring striker in the Man United Youth Team than he is for his displays as an all tackling, all bullshiting midfielder for Leicester, Birmingham and Blackburn and others, Robbie is by his own admission something of a marmite character. Throughout his 2011 book Savage! (complete with exclamation mark in the title) Robbie says that people should meet him before they judge him. If you are not particularly interested in meeting...2024-07-0256 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 15: Neil Warnock - The GafferWith a career in English football going all the way back to 1967, Neil Warnock has traveled to every corner of the country. In his 2013 book, The Gaffer – The Trials and Tribulations of a Football Manager, Warnock outlines his view of the football world. It’s an old fashion view, in many respects, but a romantic one too.   Less an autobiography than an insight into the day-to-day running of a Championship/Premier League team, the book covers Warnock’s likes (wingers, Scott Parker, his son William, the British Monarchy) and dislikes (Shaun Wright Philips, Graham Poll, the des...2024-06-1952 minReboot Republic - Rory Hearne by Tortoise Shack MediaReboot Republic - Rory Hearne by Tortoise Shack Media1269.

He is that bloody old. 634 Premier League appearances later, he may soon takeover Gareth Barry as the player with the most appearances of all.  In 2019, he wrote Ask a Footballer, which is not so much an autobiography as it is a collection of thoughts - musings even - on the life of a Premier League footballer.  Ultimately, the thing that most people interested in this book want to know is, is James Milner as boring as...2024-06-0452 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 13: Patrice Evra.- I Love This GameIn Episode 13 we read about the life and times of the chicken licking, Marseilles fan kicking, Patrice Evra.   Born in Senegal, one of 24 children (not a typo), and raised in the meanest streets of Paris, Evra won five Premier Leagues with Manchester United and two Scudettos with Juventus. He also has the less enviable accolade of being the player who has lost the most ever Champions League finals taking (but not taking home) four losers medals to go with the one winners medal he got for beating Chelsea on that famous night in Moscow in 2008.2024-05-2259 minHead Wrecked PodcastHead Wrecked PodcastEpisode 30 - From spicebags to the clapThis week the lads talk IPA beers, clapping on a plane, bus etiquette, the new Dublin Portal, spicebags, dishwashers  and so much more!!

He may have been a stranger when he arrived in England in 1996 but he is no stranger now. In his 22 years with Arsenal, Wenger went from nobody to managerial royalty, with a turn towards the end as the most hated man in North London, or at least so it seemed at the time.  Is this the sex-filled page turner that Al has been calling for since we launched the good ship Bookmen?

Probably most famous for scoring the goal that got Leicester up to the Premier League in 1996, football's fruit and veg man played for 24 (by our count) clubs in a career that spanned four decades. Throughout that period, he traveled around in battered cars as he commuted from his parents house in Portsmouth to clubs all over the south and southeast, earning himself a reputation for tardiness and for having the filthiest boots in football.  Written in 1997, Tales from the Boot Camps is the f...2024-04-1758 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 10: Diego Maradona - El DiegoEpisode 10, the magic and mayhem of Diego Maradona.

Written in 2004, El Diego examines the life of a boy from Villa Fiorito in Buenos Aires who conquered Italy with lowly Napoli and the world in the blue and white of Argentina.  Includes tips on how to beat a goalkeeper in the air...   2024-04-0359 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 9: Neville Southall - The Binman ChroniclesIn Episode 9, we take a tour on an open top bin lorry with Neville Southall's The Binman Chronicles back to a time when Everton FC were riding high at the top of the English football pyramid. In a career that brought him such highs as two league wins, Southall also experienced the lows (or at least, the lowers) of playing in the basement of English football with teams like Bury, Torquay, Southend and Rhyl in a career that began in the 70s and ended in the 2000s.  A Wales and Everton legend and an all r...2024-03-2058 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 8: Peter Crouch - How to be a FootballerIn Episode 8, Al and Johnny visit the first literary work by Peter Crouch, the all volleying, sometime header-ing, everyman of English football. At 6ft 7 inches, Crouch is the 3rd tallest player ever to play in the Premier League and while he ended his career as a universally liked person, his road to stardom started with regular abuse from fans, including his own. So bad was the guff that he received for his unusual body shape, his father ended up in physical fights with fellow matching going supporters.  From roboting for the future King of England t...2024-03-0657 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 7: Paul McGrath - Back from the BrinkIn the introduction to his Back from the Brink, his 2006 autobiography, Paul McGrath is described by his ghostwriter, Vincent Hogan, as "undeniably Ireland's best loved sportsman". In Episode 7 of the Ademola Bookmen Podcast, Al and Johnny wrestle with what must surely be one of the heaviest books in the football canon. The book, which won both the William Hill and Boylesports sports books of the year in Ireland in 2006, covers McGrath's heartbreaking childhood as an orphan in a series of Dublin orphanages, his illustrious club career with Manchester United and Aston Villa, his legendary displays in an iconic Ireland t...2024-02-2158 minThe Dynamo Football BookclubThe Dynamo Football BookclubEpisode 6: Didier Drogba - CommitmentWith Ademola Lookman plotting a course to the final of the African Cup of Nations where he may (fingers crossed) find himself taking on Ivory Coast, the Ademola Bookmen Podcast bring you our AFCON special.  Didier Drogba, the greatest Chelsea player of all time according to Chelsea fans.

Titled "No Nonsense", the book takes us through Joey's turbulent childhood in Liverpool; being spurned by Everton, the team he supported as a boy; and through his professional career with teams including Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Marseilles. Barton's years as a player were punctuated by regular controversies on and off the field, including a 74-day stretch in prison following a violent altercation with a man and a 15-year-old boy during a night out in Liverpool.
