The celebratory, revealing, inspiring and entertaining autobiography of the greatest manager in the history of British football.
Raised in the tough Govan district of Glasgow, where his father was a shipyard worker, Alex Ferguson started his own working life as an apprentice toolmaker. He went on to play for Queen's Park and five other professional football clubs including the idols of his boyhood, Rangers. Needless to say he was known as a hard and awkward opponent on the field as well as off it. Intelligent and quick-witted, Alex Ferguson followed his father's lead as a deeply committed socialist.
My Goodness, this is fascinating.
*Evening Standard*
His book is really a piece of oral history, and his life is a
conduit to a time when a working-class man of talent could, not by
the magical alchemy of elite education or the stardust of
celebrity, but by a lifetime of hard work and hard thinking, rise
to the very top and, flaws aside, remain true to the best of the
world he came from.
