At their most basic, football autobiographies offer fans a glimpse into the person behind the persona we’ve come to know through our TV screens. At their best, they provide a unique look into an individual’s thought process that would be impossible to get from a simple biography.

This selection of autobiographies follows the careers of some of football’s biggest stars, from both on and off the pitch, and gives a raw insight into what it’s like to play at the highest level.
