4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best, 5 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Good, the Bad and the Bubbly! (Paperback)
From the first chapter, when George describes an encounter with Michael Caine in a nightclub that ended in a punch up over a woman, I was hooked! The writing style is very staccato but gives the impression of an intimate conversation with a close friend. It can be difficult to follow at times, but is well worth the effort purely for some of the funny stories he has to tell. OK, the book was written 10 or more years ago so a lot of the comparisons he makes have become dated, but if you just take the book as an illustration of the life of the first playboy of football, who's evenings involved glamorous models (including a former Miss World he just happened to marry) late, drunken nights with similarly late, drunken fights it is a captivating read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could try harder, 6 July 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Good, the Bad and the Bubbly (Paperback)
The book is very dated as it has not been properly/fully updated from the early 90s edition - so all references to players are of that era and all references to "the current First Division" pre-date the creation of the Premiership. It is a serious weakness when the book draws many comparisons between contemporary players and the players of the 60s and 70s. George's perspective on the world and his inability to deal with his alcohol problem are dealt with factually and without emotion.
