I had a look at this book in the shops because I'm a United fan and I decided to see if it would actually be any good or just be a ghostwritten propaganda piece. My heart sank when I saw the words "with Hugh Mcillvanney" on the inside cover. I read the intro anyway though and I'm extremely glad that I did because I learned there that the aforementioned Hugh Mcillvanney was just an Editor and was merely there to tidy up the grammar and edit the text. Apparently Alex Ferguson wrote 250,000 words during the treble season and so when I read this, I bought the book immediately. I must say that Mr.Ferguson is a very good writer as well as a great manager. The book was interesting all the way through, charting his life all the way from his Glasgow roots to his unbelievable success at Man.Utd. Overall I would recommend this book to any football fan and also people who are into biographies and the like.
