When you pick up an autobiography, chances are you're going to be at least a bit interested in the person on the cover. So, it will be primarily football fans who read Gerrard's book; certainly, as a lifelong Liverpool fan, I was extremely interested in what the hero of many had to say. I was blown away by the quality of this gripping book, which kept me glued from start to finish. It is interesting, honest, and provides an insight into one of the country's most prominent footballers. I won't reveal too much about the actual content, but there is never a dull moment. There is a wealth of content of Steven's childhood, always the most interesting part of an autobiography, which reveals the inspirations and deep relationship with football that he forged from birth. Particuarly for Liverpool fans, the book provides a wonderful insight into the workings of the club. Other readers will also be interested in the goings on of the Premier League, and the wonderfully eventful recount leaves little out, really opening up, which keeps the reader truly gripped. It is near impossible to put down. Don't make the mistake of thinking this book is just for football fans. While they will get the most out of it, Gerrard's autobiography is superbly written, and makes enjoyable reading for anyone. This detailed, fast paced and surprisingly deep insight into one of the world's best footballers is a fantastic read, and one I would highly recommend.

I somehow doubt he personally sat down and wrote it, so I'd expect good quality writing anyway; but he is one footballer I would be interested in reading his autobiography as I really think he is a special character. Nice review, not that a liverpool fan would ever have a bad word to say about Gerrard!
