Synopsis

The Sunday Times no.1 bestselling memoir from Harry Redknapp

‘From kicking a ball as a kid under the street lamps of Poplar and standing on Highbury's North Bank with my dad, to my first game at West Ham, I was born head over heels in love with football. It saved me, and 50 years on that hasn't changed one bit - I'd be lost without it…’

Harry is the manager who has seen it all - from a dismal 70s Portakabin at Oxford City and training pitches with trees in the middle to the unbeatable highs of the Premiership, lifting the FA Cup and taking on Real Madrid in the Champions League. With his much loved, no-nonsense delivery, Harry brings us a story filled with passion and humour that takes you right inside every drama of his career.

Harry finally tells the full story of all the controversial ups and downs - the pain and heartache of his court case, the England job, his love for Bobby Moore, his adventures at Portsmouth with Milan Mandaric, the Southampton debacle, Tottenham and Daniel Levy, and not forgetting his years at West Ham or the challenges at his current club QPR.

It’s the epic journey of one of the great managers and, along the way, the story of the British game itself over the last five decades. In an era now dominated by foreign coaches Harry is the last of an old-fashioned breed of English football man - one who has managed to move with the times and always come out fighting.

He has no......more

DNF at 16%. It's not that this book is very bad or poorly written, no. But I just gradually lost my interest in it, plus, I just did not find a connection with it. (Yes, it is a polite way to say that it was boring. Sorry, Harry)......more

Goodreads review by Huw on November 18, 2013

As sports autobiographies go, this is one of the better ones. Harry Redknapp was a right winger for West Ham in the 1960's when I first encountered him.He wasn't the world's greatest player, though he was good enough to hold down a place in a top division team for quite a few years. He disappeared fo......more

Goodreads review by Gary on December 07, 2014

Another autobiography by Harry Redknapp. An easy entertaining read with stories from his career that highlight how football has changed from the working man's game where players used to drink and eat unhealthily to today's millionaire players who are instructed to follow strict diets. Harry never fai......more
