Danny Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4553096.Matt_Le_Tissier_speaks_about_his_autobiography/ There'll be extracts in the Echo and the Pink from tomorrow. I've been lucky enough to get an early copy of the book. About a third of the way through - it's a very good read. MLT, while being diplomatic, doesn't hold back with what he thinks about people. The foreword by Shearer is also surprisingly funny! I thoroughly recommend getting a copy when it comes out.

Saint Samuel Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 Anyone else going down to St Marys tomorrow for the book signing? I see he's including fans comments in the back of the book, did anyone write anything? Don't think I've ever been more excited about an autobiography being released, hope the weather stays nice over the next couple of days so I can sit out in the garden and read it, maybe try and finish it before the game on Saturday.

trousers Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 A shame that 'recent events' happened too late to include in the book - would have made himself a few more bob if there was an extra chapter covering the Pinnacle 'shenanigans'....

Maybe there will be an "updated version" released in a year or two.
beatlesaint Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 A shame that 'recent events' happened too late to include in the book - would have made himself a few more bob if there was an extra chapter covering the Pinnacle 'shenanigans'.... The Pink last weekend said that it was up to date and included a chapter on the Pinnacle thing....or was that just lazy journalism ?
trousers Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 The Pink last weekend said that it was up to date and included a chapter on the Pinnacle thing....or was that just lazy journalism ? Ah, ok. No, rather me being lazy in assuming it was to late to include it. Now I've got a dilema: whether or not to post the conspiracy theory that's just entered my head....

eurosaint Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 My copy is in the post as we speak ! Whoopee.......
trousers Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 You can't write that and not post it! Go on... Nah, too far fetched even for me... There must be other ways of boosting book sales.... ;-)
yellow&blue Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 Well i'm going and looking forward to it, they have even reduced the price of the book to £14.99.

Danny Posted 19 August, 2009 Author Posted 19 August, 2009 Did he include a comment from his No. 1 fan, Javi? Yep.
John Boy Saint Posted 19 August, 2009 Posted 19 August, 2009 For those of you unable to make the signing in the Megastore or live a bit further north in Hampshire or beyond Matt will be signing copies in Waterstones Festival Place Basingstoke from 4:30pm on Friday afternoon. That's Junction 6 off the M3 and follow the signs for Town Centre for those of you knocking of early on Friday before heading south for the weekend. ;-)

Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Shyte! I forgot he was signing today at SMS. I would have made more of an effort to have gotten there! Doubt there is much point in me leaving now as people are probably cued around the stadium by now!
Pilchards Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 What did shearer say in the foreward? Please don't add it as many of us are waiting for a copy, Maybe PM it?
saint_bert Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Sorry to be a pain, what time is the signing? And untill what time
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Sorry to be a pain, what time is the signing? And untill what time Signing is at 12.30 - I guess it goes on till they've sold out of books?
disintegration87 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 sorry I know its off topic but did anyone see Le Tiss on Sky Sports soccer special yesterday afternoon? He predicted that Burnley would beat Man Utd and everyone laughed at him!!!
ottery st mary Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Nineteen Canteen on his way to SMS to get his signed copy and to ask those vital questions of Matt?
WinchesterSaint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Does anyone know if you can park at the ground or if not where is the nearest place to the stadium to park ?
ottery st mary Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Stroke of luck.....Family member in shop to buy a couple of books for signing......The line is MILES long apparently...In the shop ..good old Matt, his dad and Franny Benali...before going through with the cameras etc....Like a true gentleman signs our books ....Well done Matt...I now have my signed book.....Feel guilty I didn't get one for 19.
J Bizzle Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Was down there getting tickets, before 12 the line went back round behind the kingsland. The line was also a mongfest and had possibly some of the most gormless saints fans I have ever encountered.

Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome.
Gigersaint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Went down to get an additional matchday ticket and book signed in my lunch hour. I was told Queue then was and 1 hour and 45 minutes long... just the extra ticket it was then.
ottery st mary Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome. To be honest you do concern me:D but feel, you will be a very good care in the community project for me.......Only joking old boy.:cool: I always say a few words for you, Rupes and jonah when praying for the Saints.[-o 3 points onSaturday would be nice:) COYRs
RonManager Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome. I'm going to wait for the Tarantino/David Lynch collaboration Hollywood blockbuster. Who will they cast I wonder?
Daren W Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 (edited) Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome. Oh dear, yet another cheap Le Tissier snipe.... And what books would be on your coffee table? One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest? Edited 20 August, 2009 by Daren W

Romsaint Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Just piked up a copy and got my quote in the back Very Chuffed !
ecuk268 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Got mine from Amazon yesterday. A good read with some amusing anecdotes. He emphasises his love of fast food and his dislike of training when it involved running. Get a copy - you'll enjoy it.
Norm Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome. You really are a miserable barsteward:rolleyes: Did your parents lock you in the coal cellar at night and perhaps that's why you don't ever seem to have a good word to write about anything? MLT, good luck with the book and I hope you sell loads and make loadsaaa money:)
Saint Samuel Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 It was worth waiting down at St Marys for two hours to get it signed today, 3 chapters in, looks like it will be a good read. I'm pleased as well to get my tribute to the great man in the section at the back of the book!
Dimond Geezer Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome. I’ve never got involved in mud slinging on here before, as I find it churlish, but 19C you are a complete nob. You obviously have no respect for a person that was responsible for entertaining thousands of people, a person that many on here hold in the highest regard, (despite what may, or may not have happened in recent months,) and a person that almost single handedly kept this once great club of ours in the premiership on several occasions. You call yourself a Saints fan? I for one am looking forward to reading his book, as it is about something I am interested in, after I have read it, I will be better placed to judge if it is lightweight, or an interesting read, unlike yourself who is obviously so bitter & twisted that you have pre-judged the words & opinions of one of the greatest servants this club has had.
deadpanmatt Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Please don't concern yourself and anyway there is no room on my coffee table for what promies to be such a lightweight tome. Are you even a Saints fan? What makes you think that it 'promies' to be such a 'lightweight tome?' I reckon you should read it before passing judgment.
eharty9 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 sorry I know its off topic but did anyone see Le Tiss on Sky Sports soccer special yesterday afternoon? He predicted that Burnley would beat Man Utd and everyone laughed at him!!! yeah i saw that!!

I reckon you should read it before passing judgment. Perhaps Mr Canteen was simply pointing out in a lighthearted, slightly provocative, way that most, if not all, footballer biographies aren't exactly literary masterpieces. That said, given the state of today's dumbed down education system it may well be on next years O-Level (sic) English Lit syllabus book list.....

I happen to be an English teacher!
krissyboy31 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Just got mine using Nectar points. Not like spending real money, so she who must be obeyed can't accuse me of wasting it!
krissyboy31 Posted 20 August, 2009 Posted 20 August, 2009 Sold over 600 in 3 hours....Didn't realise he'd have to queue up himself though! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1762743,00.html
