| NOT RECOMMENDED. STAY OUT OF IT!
So lack of insight that it is unreal! The writer just gathered all the newspaper clippings about Keane and match reports and put them together for this biography.

| On a similar theme, my Mum sent me the biography of martin Jol by Harry Harris. It is bloody awful, same as James says above, jsut a mish-mash of previous quotes and typos. _________________ The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning.

| Be careful with Jez and books. I borrowed a book on Angkor Wat from him and I'd only had it for about 3 days when he demanded it back from me. Maybe he just doesn't like Portuguese people. _________________ The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory.

| | Had he made notes in the book about the airline he flew, punctuality, quality of f&b, etc? |

Mmmmm. That's one story. Another is I kindly loaned Janek ( who at the time I'd never met ) a book on Angkor Wat. 6 months later he returns it WITHOUT paying the late charges, which had by now run up to a whopping HK$1,446. Nor was he able to answer some simple questions on Angkor Wat which suggests he had it on his coffee table just to impress his Russian female friends who frequently visit his filthy penthouse. |

Guilty as charged. Apologies for the strange looking stain on the picture of Pre Rup on page 169, but Ivana got a bit excited one Wednesday evening and I cdn't remove the book in time. _________________ The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning.

| No problem. I chipped away at the stain with my finger nail and removed all further trace with a minty wet wipe.
She couldn't have been that turned on as there wasn't much to remove. |
