Alex Ferguson:

My Autobiography

By: Alex Ferguson

Narrated by: Alex Ferguson, James Macpherson

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY LIKE NO OTHER: SIR ALEX REFLECTS ON HIS RECORD-BREAKING CAREER AT ABERDEEN AND MANCHESTER UNITED

'Sometimes defeats are the best outcomes. To react to adversity is a quality. Even in your lowest periods you are showing strength . . .'

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.

Critic reviews

My Goodness, this is fascinating.

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.

Solid, if a little egotistical

What made the experience of listening to Alex Ferguson the most enjoyable?

The narration is great, the story is solid and full of rather interesting insights for any football fan. Towards the end Fergie drifts off into a little bit of his own ego but I suppose it's hard to write a book about oneself without doing a touch of that.

Would you be willing to try another book from Alex Ferguson? Why or why not?

I think I'm fine. As an Arsenal fan there's only so much I can take!

What about James Macpherson and Alex Ferguson ’s performance did you like?

It seemed very authentic, I felt like I was listening to the man himself most of the time.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
