Best Sporting Books - non boaty

[mystique]

Any suggestions for the best non-boaty sporting books??

I'll start by nominating "Put Me Back on my Bike", a biography of Tom Simpson.

Graham.

Currently reading Frankie, The autobiography of a certain F Dettori. TBH, I didn't think I'd find it that good, but pleasantly surprised.

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Murray Walkers Biography..... excellent read... and a suprising insight into a really interesting person....

Also read Foggy. The auotboig of Carl Foggerty. Probably wont interest unless your "into" motorcycles and WSB and Gp's. Good read, funny in places.

I'm not really into WSB, but you're the third person that's recommended "Foggy".

Looks like I'll just have to give it a go.

If you're of a cricketing bent, then "Opening Up" by Mike Atherton is a good read.
