    I've just finished reading a biography on Micky Ward called Irish Thunder, a cracking read and a great insight into the man and where he came from. Can anyone reccomend any good autobigraphies that they've read and enjoyed, Im thinking summat ideal for the plane and by the pool for my holidays.

    Cheers.

    Make sure you get some of the older books (Fitzsimmons, Langford, Wilde etc). They'll set you back 30 quid a time!

    I'm reading Jack Johnson's one: 'Unforgivable Blackness'. Bloody superb about a very unique man.
