Just finished reading Mark Halsey's excellent biography which I purchased at the Alty Sportsman's Dinner last weekend
Very interesting book on a number of fronts not least the politics of referee appointments- In his chapter entitled 'Dug Outs and Dressing Rooms' he comments on his various favourite and 'least favourite' characters he has come across throughout his career.

Interesting reading !
