For over two decades Sir Alex Ferguson dominated the Premier League, overseeing a sustained and unparalleled period of success with Manchester United. He was a visionary, able to move with the times and build title-winning teams both on and off the pitch. He was a man-manager of phenomenal skill, and increasingly he had to deal with global stars. His relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, for instance, was excellent and David Beckham has described Sir Alex as a father figure.

In his bestselling autobiography, Sir Alex reflects on the highlights of his extraordinary career and reveals his remarkable story, from his very early days in the tough shipyard areas of Govan to winning the Champions league in Moscow in 2008.

Revised and updated, this edition offers reflections on events at Manchester United since his retirement and offers fresh insights and details on his final years as United's manager.

'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.' Guardian

  • Nothing eye-catching, but easy to enjoy.

    Only halfway through, but it's been a good, easy read so far littered with honest opinions about the big names and big games, and Scottish English that's mildly quaint.

    I was expecting insight and nuance but got vanilla discussion on such a superficial level I wonder who wrote the book? Its a very disappointing read. The characters are poorly fleshed out- we get better insights just watching them play. I wanted a sophisticated discussion on tactics from the major games he managed but that was also completely glossed over. The book is aimed at the soccer tourist.
