Phil Gould - The Biography

[Dragon]

No doubt we are coming to the point wherein Phil 'Gus' Gould will release a biography of his life and times in rugby league.

Are people interested in Goulds life story?

Was he tormented as a child?

Vote now....

The tosser one

Somehow I know which option which will win this one :lol:

Can you imagine the self congratulatory roosters pushing tripe he'd spill.
It would have to be put in the "fantasy/Sci Fi" section.

Gould's autobiography came out in 1996, you dumbos! Written with Ray Chesterton and called "Good as Gould".

Jeez, you lot are big football fans, aren't you? :roll:

But I guess you've got your studies to worry about ...

Obviously we're so enamoured of the other 'Renowned league expert', Goose Gould.

Nice sig, does it help you sleep at night?

Actually you must remember most of us think he is a tosser and really couldn't be bothered with a book with what 200 - 300 pages of "I am so great", "I hate news ltd", "I am so great", "everyone look at me", "I am so great", "I'm gonna quit the game", "I am so great", "did I mention I was great".

Which means we may have seen the book on the shelf, but thats where it stayed and was forgotten about, rightfully so too me thinks.

I wouldn't wipe my arse.

But it would do well to light my fire.

Being a football fan doesn't revolve around your club or reading a book about the Ego.

But my personal favourite has to be

An AUTObiography written by someone else ????, glad you didn't call yourself Renowned English Expert :lol:

Really humble title too, isn't it?

:roll:

Great book. It was soft yet strong, and thoroughly absorbant

 

[theVodkaCircle]

"Good as Gould".

You gota hate puns in book titles. Thats terrible

Mind you, there could be a worse one about Wayne Bennett.

"What's under the Bennett ?" No that's truly terrible.

 

[Jimbo]

Maybe our former coach could put one out called "Anderson Consulting"

It actually happens 99.9999999% of the time with sports autobio's actually taxidriver. Tallis's one is another good example. They tell the stories in their own words etc. and it's compiled and edited etc. by a sports journo usually. In this case, Ray Chersterton. In Gordie's case it was Mike Colman.

 

[taxidriver]

Miccle - Raging Bull is credited to Gordon Tallis (with Mike Coleman)

Good as Gould is credited to Ray Chesterton

subtle difference I know, but it was in response to someone who called us dumbos and questioned our bona fides as league supporters for being unaware of a BIOGRAPHY on the Ego.

 

[miccle]

ah ok fair enough - I read a post up higher that said it was an autobiography, not a biography. Meh - we all know how capable both Gordon and Gould would be at writing a book themselves anyway. A translator/editor is a must :lol:

i hope its like the bible ... good paper for rolly's

Ray Charleston didn't write it himself, he wrote it with Gould.

No sportsperson autobiographies are written by themselves. They don't have the writing talent to do so. But since they tell the story and the writer writes it, it's still an autobiography because it's the person telling the story, not the writer telling the story.

 

[miccle]

Cheers razor - someone did back me up I think the correct way to write it on the title is "By Phil Gould with Ray Chesterton" and "By Gordon Tallis with Mike Colman". They basically spin all the yarns to the journos who then write it for them. Basically.

 

[taxidriver]

Fellas, I know I was being pedantic. I was making a point about the post calling us dumbos.
