Everything you'd expect from a good football autobiography, and more
I seldom read sports biographies, but nonetheless found this book hard to put down once I started on it. Beckam provides a refreshingly honest and eye-opening account of life in the dressing room and beyond. The book takes the reader on a comprehensive narrative from his childhood years to his rise to international stardom that has few dull moments. Particularly commendable, in my opinion, is the book's effort to provide a fair assessment of all the major characters in Beckham's life, especially his manager and mentor for many years, Sir Alex Ferguson.

very good book
This book mostly talked about his life off of the pitch and all the stress he went thourgh in the the World Cup.

A true soccer genius
I bought this book about a year ago.It is an inside look into Ronaldo's life, more about his personal life than his career on the pitch.Ronaldo is truly the best player on earth, despite FIFA's thoughts of Zizou. Ronaldo is up there with the Gods of the sporting world:Michael Jordan,Mohammed Ali, Pele, Johann Cruyff, Eusebio, Diego Armando Maradona, etc. If you think you know Ronaldo, read this book...

this book is not onely about star its about brazil

Wilma Rudolph
Wilma Rodolph had one big problem before she became a famous Olympic runner, and that problem was that she had polio. Polio is a disease that you can die from or lose use of your legs. Wilma lost the use of her left leg only but was still in much pain. Every day, Wilma rode on a bus to a therapist to treat her leg. The bus ride took about 2 hours both ways. When this was happening Wilma was only six years old. Doctors told Wilma's parents, "She might not make it." Her parents were very upset. Wilma's family was very, very poor. Wilma wished very much that she could run like the other children at her school. But as Wilma got older (11) and she kept therapy she started to walk and run! It took Wilma along time for her to prepare but finally she won three gold medals in the 1960 Olympics! I would recommend this book to kids that like to run.

In The Beginning...
1979 to 1981 was the Golden Age of "boys", when the youth of Liverpool and Manchester entered a volatile confluence of ideologies and power-plays, which were acted out outside the football stadiums and train stations of those cities.The rest of England festered in ignorance, while an exhilarating new way of life emerged, which, in time, was to affect all of Britain.Andy Nicholls does us all a great service by providing a story from the perspective of what many considered to be the "top boys" - Everton.That a scouser claims the credit for his city as the founders of this movement is no surprise - and pretty much ninety-percent correct.The "mickeys" were almost single-handedly responsible for the backbone of the "boys" movement.Liverpool's following of their team across the continent (the A + B = C equation, which is a brilliant stroke by Nicholls) was definitely a major, major moment in English style.However, the 1979 release of the Who movie, "Quadrophenia" was also a factor.As the scousers moved across Europe with their label-oriented, "jibbing" mindset, the lads of Manchester went to work on basic style and well-constructed clothing, a la lambs-wool and cotton trousers, Kicker's boots, cotton designer shirts, Fred Perry's and boat shoes.The transition from mods to "boys" took about three weeks in 1979, in Manchester (as opposed to ten years elsewhere) though the numbers were then a fraction of what they were in Liverpool.While Merseyside robbed continental sport-shops, Manchester "ragged" places like Kendals, Austin Reed's, Top Man and Debenhams of their sporty but sensibly assembled fashion gear (and this was when you got a quality shirt from Top Man that would last a lifetime and still look new).We had the colour of the tracksuit as well as the taste of tweed and kashmir.What resulted was an interdependent and rewarding overlap by both sides, and an unforgettable series of clashes from '79-'81, during which many ego-casualties were suffered on both sides.I will never forget the times I went to Liverpool and the times they came to Manchester, and the excitement we all experienced during this era.Everton and Man United set a standard during this moment in history, and Andy Nicholls is the closest you'll get to living it if you weren't there.His accounts of of it all represent living history, of a trend that has outlived ALL others.I only wish he would have dwelled on that Golden Age ('79-'81) throughout the entirety of his splendid book.I imagine a lot of cockneys and others would love nowt more than to be taken on a magical mystery trip through those times, as many of them only know of the latter-day smaller crews of disturbed individuals going at it, rather than 400-plus crews of lads who just wanted a thrill at any cost, and who understood that what they were into was of their own invention.Let's not forget the birds, either.They wore their own stuff, and just seemed to know what would compliment what the lads were wearing.Andy Nicholls says the drawn-out debates, about who started what and why, are boring, but there are many who would disagree, especially in the Northwest of England.I am a Manc and proud of it, but I tip my deerstalker hat to Andy, because I remember how the Everton boys performed in that great era, which means so much to so many... ...

Fail to Prepare - Prepare to Fail
In 2002, soccer's World Cup Finals were played in Japan and South Korea. Following a two-year qualifying campaign, thirty-two countries were involved. While countries such as Brazil and France were among the pre-tournament favorites, the Republic of Ireland had qualified for only the third time in their history.
