Je voulais savoir si certains d'entre vous, se sont ou vont se lancer dans la bio de Carra?

Si oui j'aimerais bcp vos impressions...

Je ne suis en général pas fan de biographie de sportif en cours de carrière, c'est pourquoi j'attend vos nombreux avis!

Ca sort le 11 septembre et Carragher fera une dédicace le 9 septembre au WHSmith du centre ville.

Jamie Carragher is one of the most charismatic footballers of his generation. Adored by the fans, he was recently voted the most popular player in the entire Liverpool squad. Yet the young Carra came to Liverpool as an Everton fan, from an Everton family and with Everton friends. Packed with great anecdotes, controversial opinions and large helpings of his trademark humour, this is his story...Born in January 1978 in Bootle, Merseyside, Carragher signed professional terms with Liverpool in 1996, having served a successful apprenticeship, won the FA Youth Cup and played for England Under-21s. He scored a goal in his first full league game for the senior team - pretty good for a defender and very unusual for him - and his versatility was to ensure a permanent place in the starting line up before long and he is now vice-captain. In fact he is so integral to the Liverpool squad, the Kop chants 'we all dream of a team of Carraghers' to the tune of 'Yellow Submarine'. Raw, funny and down-to-earth, his book is an antidote to the anodyne sports autobiography. It takes you behind the scenes of all of Liverpool and England's greatest triumphs and disasters in the company of a player who never fails to be intelligent, controversial or just downright hilarious.

J'attend les premiers avis sur les forums anglais pour me lancer. Y a un extrait sur le mirror a propos de la WC 2006 :

Même si je ne suis pas très fan des biographies en général,celle-ci m'interesse,j'attends d'avoir certains avis et j'essaierais par la suite de ma la procurer.

Je vais à Liverpool vers la fin du mois (pour les matchs contre Stoke & Crewe) et je vais bien entendu me procurer cette bio. Celle de Carragher me tente davantage que celle de Gerrard (que j'ai quand même lu une copie qu'un copain avait acheté), car Carra me semble plus humble et modeste que Stevie G. Et il me semble aussi plus liverpoolien qu'anglais, alors que Gerrard a bien montré son "amour" et son attachement pour l'équipe nationale dans sa bio.

En esperant que carra soit plus facile a lire qu'a comprendre

A lire absolumment évidemment !

Un volontaire pour un compte-rendu dans un des no de la N'letter ?

Il est surement possible de l'avoir à Paris à la librairie anglaise à Concorde.Ils ont celles de Gerrard,Tommy Smith et bien d'autres...

barton s'est il exprimé sur la question?

(je crois crois que je la lirais...quand j'aurais pas les cours à bucher ^^)

J'irai à Liverpool en novembre et profiterai de l'acheter. Il y a aussi un article dans le Liverpool Echo.

La réalité est encore plus belle que la légende!!! Putain!

Jamie a écrit:

As I headed back into the arena, I was sure Milan were going to win, so were the forty thousand Scousers in Istanbul, so why shouldn't they have believed it? I could hear “You'll Never Walk Alone” in the distance, and as I exited the tunnel it grew louder. It wasn't the usual version of our anthem, though. There are different moments when The Kop summons Gerry Marsden's classic. Before every home game it's a deafening rallying cry, as if to inspire us to perform and frighten our opponents into submission. If we're winning in the closing stages of a huge match, it will be sung again, this time in celebration. But there are other occasions the words of the song have greater meaning, and at half-time in Istanbul the fans were singing it in sympathy more than belief. There was a slow, sad sound to it, almost as if it was being sung as a hymn. The fans were certainly praying on our behalf. To me, it was the supporters' way of saying, “We're still proud of what you've done, we're still with you, so don't let your heads drop.” There was probably a hint of a warning in there too, as the walk back to my position felt like a guilt trip: “Don't let us down any more than you already have.” Our coach Alex Miller's final instructions at half time were for us to “score a goal for those fans”. That was the mindset we had. Get one and pride might be restored.

Et la réactivité de Rafa!!!

Merci à la chance aussi, en partie!!!

He'll get the ball, and get you pranked, he'll score the winner goal against the mancs, Fernando Torrès is Liverpool n°9!!!

Je pense que je me l'achèterais sur le site officiel pour Noël!

Peut-on la trouver dans une librairie parisienne ?

Je n'ai rien vu, il y a une dizaine de jours, à WH Smith Concorde...

Je l'ai achetée la semaine dernière à Liverpool. On la trouve aussi dans son restaurant Café Sports England. Elle est signée et coûte £ 25
