I found Psycho to be an entertaining and informative biography. I'm not a fan of any of the teams SP has played for (except England, duh) but like most footy fans I respect him for his attitude on the pitch. A good read for any footy fan.
This book has sat on our bookshelves for a number of years and because it was about a footballer I ignored it. Just now read it and was pleasantly surprised, still not my cup of tea but interesting enough if you are a fan of football.
I was really dissapointed by this book. Pearce is a national legend but comes across here as quite dour and unfriendly - unless you are Nigel Clough or Des Walker...
