Linvoy Primus

by papereyes » 21 Jun 2009 09:56

If you find yourself in a bookshop, Linvoy Primus has an autobiography out*. It does read as if it was ghost-written by Spacey sometimes but ...

the two chapters about his time at RFC are pretty interesting reading. There's little digs and some interesting insight into the approaches taken by Bullivant, Burns and Pardew, not to mention the club as a whole.




*Yes, I know. How many copies does he intend to actually sell?

I find books written by the lesser-known/lower league players to be far more interesting than autobiographes by Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney or Alan Shearer.

Oh I agree, but I'd never buy the things! Sit in Waterstones and read the chapters that interest me.



and



were two recent worthwhile ones.

I think the whole idea is you go out and either buy or borrow the book, and read it yourself...

I've just read the synopsis on amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linvoy-Primus-T ... 678&sr=1-1

Sounds too pro Portsmouth, I'm rather reluctant to read about that club.

How enlightened and open-minded of you ...... :roll:

Do you really think postings like this make you sound anything other than a small-minded bigot?

Portsmouth supporters regard Linvoy in much the same way that we regard Parky or Murts - why would his autobiography not be mainly about the club where he has spent the vast majority of his career and achieved his biggest successes?

Judging by Spacey's comment, it appears he's not entirely clued up about what an autobiography is. So, for Spacey, an autobiography is the story of the life and times of an individual, written by that individual.

As such, in this individual instance I'm pretty sure I'd be reading about Linvoy Primus's time at Portsmouth Football Club in his own words, as opposed to reading just about Portsmouth Football Club.

Idiot :roll:

Exactly - its two chapters. Took me about 30 minutes stood in a corner at Waterstones.

Its interesting.

(As are the RFC chapters of the other two, tbh)

You're reading about him, when he was at RFC. Christ you're a gibbering noncebox.

Unlikely - he'd have to find a Reading supporting woman who's never left the country and doesn't speak any foreign languages.

Thankfully canines are a completely different species so he can't even produce a sterile hybrid.
