Repetitious and unenlightening.
As an American perplexed by the phenomenon of English soccer hooliganism I purchased this book with the expectation that it would shed some light on this violent British subculture.Reading it proved I was wrong.All the authors have done is ask the same identical questions to a number of former hooligans and record their answers.After you have read the first few entries there is no need to continue as all the responses are similiar.

Sir Alf: A Major reappraisal of the life and Times of England's Greatest Football Manager
This is an extremely well researched biography of Alf Ramsey. It gets to the heart of who this man was and how he provided incredible leadership to his teams.It also exposes his weaknesses and in that sense is a very honest protrayal of Sir Alf as a person as well as a manager.

The Origins of Wenger
This is a superb and very readable book about Arsenal's legendary manager Arsene Wenger.The sub-title of the book accurately captures what this book is about.It delves into the people and experiences that have shaped Wenger's personality.The author has painstakingly interviewed some of the key personalities that have both influenced and been influenced by Wenger.The book also gives us insights about the network of people surrounding Wenger such as colleagues, coaches, managers - both past and present.

Justice
A fresh look into the purposeful misleading and lies of Steve Sampson and his mishandling of the US Men's National Team at France '98.For me, the background was good, but the reading on the France '98 team is essential to anybody who cares about US Soccer.John Harkes is owed an apology by Steve Sampson and the powers that be at US Soccer for the way he was treated after giving it all up for the glory of the game in the USA.Sampson may dispute the facts put down by Harkes, but the book got published, Harkes never got sued, Harkes is still playing and Sampson is coaching kids soccer (right where he belongs.)Attitude?Dang right.Too many people, like John Harkes, Marcelo Balboa, Alexi Lalas et.al. poured their lives in elevating the game to an unheard of level in the states, only to be lied to, whispered about, and then ultimately begged by the boss, himself, Judas Sampson, to "take it easy on him, he's only a human being."Calling himself a human being is a slap in the face to the genus as a whole.

The phatest book ever
"Captain for Life" is the greatest book ever to be publisheds.It gives the most interesting, deep insight of one of the greatest Americans to ever play the game of soccer.Everywhere John Harkes goes, the most fanatics from the best soccer countries adores and loves the Harskey."Captain for Life" is definitely the top autiobiography out right now.Once you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down.Take my advice.This is coming from a person that doesn't read often.
