'MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY' is the inspiring story of a man who is widely considered to be the greatest manager in the history of British football. Rich in anecdote and never short of forthright views,Sir Alex Ferguson's compelling story starts in Govan,a shipbuilding district of Glasgow: always honest and revealing,he reflects on his epic journey,and a managerial career that embraced unprecedented European success for Aberden and 27 triumphant years with Manchester United. Over the last quarter of a century there have been seismic changes at Manchester United as it became a global sporting power.The only constant elements have been the manager,the quality of his squad and the club's amazing run of success which included winning the Champions League for a second time in 2008 and the Premier League in 2013. It was directly due to Sir Alex's vision, energy and ability that he was able to build teams both on and off the pitch,and in a thoughtful and fascinating way he describes how he developed an academy to bring on Ryan Giggs,David Beckham,Nicky Butt,Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers. A manager of phenomenal skill,Sir Alex recounts the caring and encouraging but firm way he handled his top players such as Ryan Giggs,Roy Keane,Eric Cantona and Ruud van Nistelrooy,and dealt with the increasing number of global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham,who has described him as a father figure. Often thought-provoking,Sir Alex describes his great rivalries with Liverpool,Arsenal, Chelsea and latterly Manchester City,and occasionally with his mischevious sense of humour in evidence,his competitive relationship with Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho. Both the psychology of management and the detail of football strategy at the top level can be complex matters,but no one has explained them in a more interesting and accessible way for the general reader than Sir Alex does here. He has a specially close family and with racing,reading and many outside interests,Sir Alex has a wonderful story to celebrate. 'MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY' is revealing, endlessly entertaining above all inspirational.
