5.0 out of 5 stars You fat b******, 15 May 2003
Mick Quinn is not a footballer one would associate with greatness; a few seasons at Newcastle, and a few at Coventry, but this autobiography is a great insight into the life of one of the greatest goalscorers in British Football.
The way Mick Quinn writes is almost like a Liverpudlian Irvine Welsh, and he fits into the writers guise very well.
Throughout the book Mick (and co-writer Oliver Harvey) tell of football before it became the business it is now, he tells of his drinking and gambling habits. But in the end it was football he lived for.
A very honest, and well written book. Definitely recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Micky Quinn, Thanks for reliving the memories, 16 Jun 2003
By Shaun Nicholson "CCIE 6705" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember Quinny at Newcastle, when we signed him I thought he was joke, when he left I felt sorry to see him go as he took with him a piece of history. Quinn was an old style centerforward and a great laugh, I watched him at the Toon and admired his tenacity, unfortunately Keegan did not so he was sent to Coventry quite literally. OK so Keegan was moving onto better things and Quinny did not fit in, but man he was great. I meet him once in the big market after the Toon were beaten one Saturday and Quinny was pretty anonymous through out the game. He was having a pint with some friends and I could not resist saying "Quinny where the hell were you today" and quick as you like he replied " I was the fat B*st*rd in the number nine shirt". That was Micky Quinn king of the one liners and scorer of many a goal. For me Quinny showed that no matter how little skill you had or how unfit you looked you could still make it as a professional footballer by doing one thing well, sticking the ball in the back of net. Micks book is pure class a fun read and will leave you wetting yourself laughing......

5.0 out of 5 stars There's only one Micky Quinn, 18 May 2007
This review is from: Who Ate All the Pies?: The Life and Times of Mick Quinn (Paperback)
You dont have to like football to enjoy this book, but it helps. A great big laugh, with a few sad bits in between, Mick tells a great story, and comes across as a realy likeable, down to earth, hard working guy, who likes a laugh, women, and a pint or two! One of the best football autobiogs around.

I really liked this book. I read a lot of football players' autobiographies and most of them are about as interesting as a stale cracker. This is different. Read more
