 “And still Ricky Villa; my autobiography” by Ricky Villa.

I have just finished reading a autobiography on Ricky Villa. Federico Ardiles (the son of Ossie) helped Ricky write it. The book tells about his growing up in Argentine, playing football other there, Playing for his country and eventually coming to England and Spurs. He talks about his friendship with Ossie, the reception  he got from the Spurs fans and the great goal he scored for Spurs in the FA Cup Final against City in 1981. He talks about his struggle with the English language and his home life over here in England. An excellent book.
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve travelled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
