It's ok.

It's easy reading - what you expect from a footballer I suppose.

He does come across a bit of a mommy's boy though. :lol:

I liked the book and the man. His tales of the northern suburbs reminded me of my upbringing.

I reckon in the end he got about what he deserved out of football and CFC and both should be happy with his career.

Loved how he put up a fight for his old mate Ange. You would do that for a mate i'd reckon.

I hope he keeps trying different things like the dancing and Gladiators. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he knows where his strength lie. Good to read that he keeps active and isnt planning on turning into a fat slob now that his football days are over.

Hope his boy can play.

I'm liking it .. very family oriented (not just his mom) .. would agree, though .. not the best read, but I didn't expect any different (I actually expected that Tony de Bolfio to turn it around a little) .. the part by Mrs A Koutoufides about her life was touching: written as she would probably have said it ...

Not much time for Denden, eh?! But heaps for Parko and Britts .. how much of what he wrote about WB was true?
