I've just finished reading "Ollie, The Autobiography of Ian Holloway"

It's not the updated version which included his spell at Blackpool but was originally published in 2007 when he was manager of Plymouth.

It's still a great read though and gives you a great insight into his life and upbringing and his football career up until then.

If anybody wants it then post a message on here or drop me a PM and we'll sort out how to get it to you. You can either pick it up from my work or I could possibly drop it off if local.

Read it while on holiday last summer, same version by the sound of it. Only a couple of quid on amazon at the time.

Honest and funny book. Doesn’t have a dig at too many people and comes across as hard working family man, obviously with a bit of a screw loose but his word is his bond. Everything we have already seen really.

What you see is what you get and long may it continue.

Nobody want this book then or are we all waiting for the reprint in 5 years time when he's taken us to The Premiership.
