Fab's autobiography

[Bruce Rioja]

What is the technique called for extracting the dairy product you put in your brew, from a cows udder?

What absolute nonsense, Boris. The guy's entire life story is like something out of a boy's own adventure book (or perhaps you're not aware of his family having to flee the DRC when he was about 10). If you think that Muamba's story is one of nothing other than him dying on the pitch then I suggest you buy it and have a read.

Or maybe you'd prefer Lewis Hamilton's roller-coaster!

[TANGODANCER]

I know. But it's a story worth printing (and making a bob or two on)

Somehow I image the proceeds will be more limited than imagined in that respect. By the time the publishers, ghost writer and agents get their dabs in it he won't get very rich off it.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

I don't doubt any of that. But nobody would normally give a feck about his past, if he hadn't almost died

Doesnt stop most autobiographies being written.

Ghost writer ?!?!

I know he 'died' for 90 minutes, but b-hell.

Yank bashing is passé now f@ck yourself right off. Holden would be pissed.

Franck Passe?

You'd be surprised how many unremarkable footballers publish 'auto'biographies. We build dens in the office out of them.

Muamba's is not an unremarkable story, even before the White Hart Lane incident that made his name known around the world. There are a bagful of examples of far less deserving milking.

[General Mannerheim]

while thats true, there havent been many from BWFC players, which is why it sparks my interest tbh.

Wish it was out now as im off away next week - have you got an advanced copy DSB???

No mate but I daresay I'll mention it on here when it pops up.

Can't wait for the Chapter - Cheeky Twunk.

Including; "He constantly dropped me or subbed me & look at the stat's when he did .... (insert) ..., and STILL had the gall to take credit for standing outside the hospital !! Personally I think that's the only reason he kept his job"

[Jez]

A lot of far far less interesting people have written autobiographies than fabrice. no problem with him milking these sad recent events for cash either when they took his wages away.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Im just glad he's alive to write it.

[Bruce Rioja]

I wonder if he ever did find his "shooting boots" whilst he's been off

you dont think he was insured?

incidently, did the club pay up his contract or just tear it up?

I suspect the club had insurance to pay up the contract, possibly extra to compensate for his value on the books at the time. Muamba would have had a payout on his own insurance, presumably x £m.

Don't blame him for the book. Should be a genuinely interesting read. How many has Rooney done? I mean, what has he got to write about apart from grannies? Just hope Fab's advisor's don't turn him into a circus and have him show up everywhere like John Terry at a trophy presentation!

[General Mannerheim]

i know he was insured, my mate works for Aviva and from what i understand he didnt need to write a book to put bread on the table! i dont blame him either tho...

not bad if you get you get a couple of years wages too!

Thinking about it, he retired, so I think that probably means the contract was mutually terminated, so no wages due unless negotiated by Fab, or offered by the club. Not sure either would have. All guesswork, but the main thing is he'll have enough cash to look after his family.

[BWFC_Insane]

Don't begrudge the lad, and I will probably give it a read.

However, it best be better than most "football" autbiographies, otherwise I'll not get very far.

If you ever want a really really really bad one, read Steve Bruce's. Shocking!

Mate - wtf?

If you lined up every book ever written by every footballer (in English) I'm pretty sure that anything by that potato-headed nugget would be my last pick. Did someone buy it you or summat, they having employed that mode of logic - Ooooh, Our BWFC_I likes football so I'll get him that?
