I bought this book for my boyfriend when it first came out.He's obsessed with football and absolutely adores david beckham, so he loved it.All the pictures were great, especially since he's not that into reading.I would definately reccomend this book to parents who have kids who love soccer and hate reading, or just for anyone that likes soccer in general

excellent

Interesting Insight Into Terrace Legend
Having read several books on the topic of English football hooliganism, I had come across West Ham's Bill Gardner on a number of occasions.Finally, he is telling his full story, with the help of fellow ICF member Cass Pennant.

Brilliant Book
This is the best sports book I have read.It is a great insight into arguably the best manager ever in the history of soccer.I always respected Sir Alex Ferguson anyway, but after reading this book, I even have more respect for his tactics and especially his ethical approach to life in general.Whether you are a soccer coach yourself, just a sports fan, or a business manager looking for insight into how to manage people better you will enjoy this book.
A MUST for all United fans!
Being a soccer fan of the club Manchester United for 15 years, this book is truly a revealing account inside the mind of one of the greatest soccer managers of British Football.
Great Legend..But..
Sir Alex is one of the 2 greatest managers in the history of MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB and some might even day of English football all together but is it enough to make an intresting and informative book? I think not. As much as sir Alex is part of my life and my history as a United supporter, there are more intresting things than a Managers life. ... Read more

A fine book
An excellent book - a unique look into the mind of a footballer playing in the English professional leagues in the mid-70s.An honest, witty and insightful diary account of the day-to-day life of a footballer, with allits ups, downs, pressures, frustrations, joys and comical relief.Irecommend it strongly for anyone interested in soccer played at, or atleast near, the highest levels.(Soccer America chose this book as one oftheir "must" soccer reads of all time.)

Dunphy's football career
One of the most controversial figures in contemporary journalism in Ireland, this is Dunphy's account of his years as a professional footballer in the 2nd division of the English league. His depiction of what it isactually like to be a professional sportsman is insightful, witty andoriginal.Read more
