Sorry to keep this offtopic bit going, but 'Fly me, I'm Freddie', although a very readable and not very biased biography, was published in 1980, when Freddie was at the top of his game. The two newer books published recently cover the collapse of Laker in 1982 and the drawn out proceedings that followed. You're missing out on those interesting bits if you stick to the 1980 book, although, on the other hand, you can't really go wrong
