![]() The arc of Jordan’s time at Selhurst Park encompasses some crucial moments, both for Crystal Palace and English football at large. Yes, there is some fun to be had here, but the prose can be so clunky at times, full of bland cliches and feeble geezerisms, that it is clear Jordan benefited from a decent sub-editor when it came to his newspaper work. However, plenty enjoyed those inspired rants in his short series of Observer columns (“If I see another David Gold interview on the poor East End Jewish boy done good I’ll impale myself on one of his dildos,” etc).Īnyone hoping for more of the same in this autobiography is going to be disappointed. ![]() The public perception has generally been that of a perma-tanned flash git and there is little in this book to suggest otherwise. Simon Jordan has never been the easiest of people to warm to. ![]()
