A decent enough read for the most part, particularly enjoyed in the early chapters on Southall's years growing up and starting his career in North Wales and my interest kind of tailed off for a bit when I reached the meat of the book about his playing career with Everton. Your mileage may vary though and anyone who's a big Everton fan or who was actually about to remember English football during the s might get quite a bit more out of Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles.

It was also fun to learn a bit more about the small-time nature of the FAW and other details of his time playing international football. I got a bit more into it with the closing chapters of the book on his career after football although the final few paragraphs vaunting the merits of Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles Burnham as a potential prime minister felt like the product of a very specific, and fleeting, moment in time. Aug 16, David rated it it was amazing. I found this book thoroughly enjoyable although if you are easily offended by bad language this book is not for you! I found this book was written straight to the point with very little waffle. May 03, Jonny Brick rated it really liked it. Ordinary Welsh bloke becomes extraordinary goalkeeper.

Considered among the greatest goalkeepers of all time and one of English football's defining figures over a career that spanned more than two decades, Neville Southall tells his life story. Uncompromising, unorthodox and often unkempt, Southall's career followed an incredible trajectory: from football-mad binman to the greatest goalkeeper in the world. Get A Copy. Hardcoverpages.

Start your review of The Binman Chronicles. Jan 07, Kay Smillie rated it really liked it. As interesting as I expected. Granted in many ways it is your standard ex-pro autobiography but Neville Southall was far from your standard ex- pro. He only ever wanted to play football but never ever expected to reach the heights he did, especially with Everton and Wales. A very single minded player who never socialised with his teammates, being a teetotaler, he was never part of the drink culture, to the continual bemusement of . Interesting person indeed. Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles a final note, he stat As interesting as I expected. On a final note, he states that joined Everton from Dunfermline. It was actually Dumbarton and I was glad to see the back of him as he liked scoring against the Pars. If only Everton had signed his less talented brother, Rikki, from Dunfermline. The money would have come in handy. Ray Smillie Nov 07, Brendan Crowley rated it liked it Shelves: sport. Southall appeared to be a throwback to an earlier era as football became increasingly commercially driven. The Binman Chronicles is a fairly standard ex-footballers autobiography. It follows an old-school format of focusing heavily on his playing career and, after covering his early years and how he got into professional football, chronologically detailing season-by-season. While the book can at times be a bit bland, Southall himself is an interesting character — as anyone who follows him on will know. A tee-totaller but a piss-taker, he seems to have somehow been both a loner and a senior figure in the Everton dressing room. There is a limited amount of detail on his own personal life — apart from his love of Wales and his daughter — but he is ultimately open about his failings and his affairs during his first Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles. From a footballing perspective, any Everton or Wales fan will be fascinated by the insights into those teams at the times Southall played. I would have enjoyed more about his present work which involves teaching troubled young people. His own early struggles in education seem to help him build relationships with those who are struggling to find a place in society. Mar 11, Gav Johnson rated it it was amazing. He was My footballing hero. Jul 27, Ron rated it it was ok. I'm sad to give this just two stars. Nev was one of my heroes and I still think he was possibly the best ever British goalkeeper. Of course, many sports stars employ professional ghost writers to write their "autobiographies" but this clearly was not the case with Nev. I'm convinced every word was his own He Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles little attention in school, he tells us, and was often sent out of class to play footba I'm sad to give this just two stars. He paid little attention in school, he tells us, and was often sent out of class to play football as he was interested in nothing else. His lack of education is evident in a Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles writing style, one that seems to believe if you swear in your normal speech you should replicate this in your writing Then there's the repetition: how many times does he have to tell us, as he relives every season he played, that he hated holidays and just wanted to train, or that he never thought of his future as "he just wanted to play"? Nev says at one point that a chief reason for writing the book was to let people know his side of the stories he was involved in and that he is not just the grumpy, awkward character some made him out to be. Sadly, I finished the book feeling he was grumpy [his final chapter about football today is nearly all moaning] and he admits being argumentative and uncooperative with several managers. However, I did enjoy reliving with him the seasons I remember and appreciating his comments on colleagues, opponents and managers. Even my wife liked hearing that preferred lazing in a bath to training! Finally, I would have loved much more about his present Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles. He gives us a glimpse into it and how he uses football as a way into helping disillusioned lads who have few prospects or interests, but it's just a mention. I wish there was more for this would have told us so much more about the man than all the many, many match reports earlier in Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles book. Sorry, Neville. You have my respect and admiration for your Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles and teaching View 2 comments. Sep 09, James Hartley rated it really liked it. He is who he is. The only thing he ever wanted to do was play football, and so he did. He played a couple of matches a day at the weekends and once had to have his toes cut apart because his skin had sealed up thanks to wearing his boots and socks too much. Hates losing. Calls it as Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles sees it. Never looked back and kept getting better. Piss taker. Good man. My favourite vision of him from the book was when his dad forgot to pick him up after a local game in Wales and he spent the night sleeping in the dugout, the pissing rain clattering on the metal roof. May 20, Josh C. Interesting, especially for the typical American latecomer to Everton support that I am, and probably better than the average 'footballer book'. That said, the writing standard of North American athlete books is so much higher than that of their British counterparts i. Footballer books also often come across as uninquisitive monologues vs. Southall fights that impulse Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles more than most, to his credit, but it seems hard to completely shake the apparent cultural norm that writing a book is how you settle your scores. Great goalkeeper Great keeper. Very blunt,honest,forthright and opinionated. There is only one southall. A breed apart not your ordinary footballer but definitely misunderstood.
