Review Henrik Larsson: A Season in Paradise / BBC Books:A Season in Paradise is Henrik Larsson's official account of a spectacular season. Just when Rangers looked to be re-establishing their grip on Scottish football, Celtic rose from the ashes of off-field trauma and on-field inconsistency to land a majestic treble in 2000/2001. The once-dreadlocked Swedish international banged in a record-breaking 53 goals along the way. Larsson was lucky to be there at all. The horrific on-field injury he received in 1999 should have ended his career-a year after his arrival from Feyenoord had helped Celtic reclaim the Championship, and prevent Rangers from breaking The Bhoys' nine-in-a-row record. Anyone who saw the bottom half of his broken lower left leg dangling in his sock will be amazed that he ever played again, let alone went on to scoop Europe's Golden Boot, ahead of £60 million worth of Series-A talent in the shape of Hernan Crespo and Andre Shevchenko. My leg was really starting to hurt despite the morphine, which was making everything seem very strange. In my slightly fevered state I started thinking how a touch I'd had earlier in the game had led to me breaking my leg. [+]If one thing had been different before. I'd now be sitting next to Mark Rieper discussing golf swings, not facing a long fight back to fitness. The story of that extraordinary fightback is inspirational, but elsewhere in this book, the passion that so clearly infuses Larsson's football is somehow absent. Nor is the player a particularly insightful chronicler of what must have been an extraordinary period in his life, both personally and professionally. His reflections on the striker's art, Celtic's manager problems, team dynamics-in fact all those things you can't see for yourself looking on from the stands or your armchair-are curiously uninvolving. What you get is a pretty straightforward account of the matches, the goals and some photos. For some reason defenders-Tony Adams' Addicted and Stuart Pearce's Psycho, for example-just seem to write better books. Celtic supporters will no doubt find this account of their team's triumph endlessly absorbing, but Keep the Faith is probably a more interesting read on the same subject. until never under-opinionated Celtic boss Martin O'Neill gets his pen out that is. - Alex Hankin.

Review Gareth Edwards: The Autobiography / Headline Book Publishing:During my time in the game, it always used to fascinate me the way England would have eight forwards, the smallest one being bigger than anyone in our pack, often dominate possession and still not beat us. If you're expecting the cosy, pipe and slippers approach, the "great times, great mates" school of autobiography, from one of rugby's most recognisable and respected characters, then you're in for a surprise. Of course, the legends-JPR Williams, Barry John, Serge Blanco, David Campese, those historic trys-all figure in Gareth Edwards' recollections of the great Wales, Lions and Barbarians sides at the hearts of which he played. Any sports fan will relish this insider's view of the matches and players that epitomised an era of free-flowing brilliance in the Union game, but Edwards is at his most passionate and opinionated when observing his beloved sport as it is today. For him, the pride of playing for your country is real, not something that you put on and take off with the shirt. That sensibility and a fierce commitment to plain speaking is brought to bear on the issues of the modern game. Rule changes, the roles of the national Unions, professionalism and the failings of England all come in for an uncompromising examination. Whether looking back at his own career, including involvement in Apartheid-era tours of South Africa or looking to the future beyond the1999 World Cup, Edwards' honesty and insight make for refreshing reading. -Alex Hankin.
