'A lively, pacy read, it's a shame that more ex-player's memoirs aren't like this'
(FourFourTwo )Product Description
Fearless. Competitive. Controversial. Three words that sum up the football career of Alan Mullery. His passion for football is matched by a stream of anecdotes about the players that have filled his professional life, including Bobby Moore, Pele, Johnny Haynes, Jimmy Greaves and George Best. Here, for the first time, Mullery lets the reader into the secrets he has previously kept hidden: the shame of being sent off for England; the true story behind England's 1970 World Cup quarter-final defeat; how he sold one thousand Cup final tickets on the black market; the bitterness behind the cheers of Spurs' 1972 UEFA Cup victory and the naked blonde in the hotel.
In addition, he relates from the heart his darkest moments, brought on by stiffling financial pressure, and how he had to look deep within himself to come through the other end.

Format:Hardcover
I bought this book for my husband for his birthday, but ended up reading it too. A indepth and honest look into Alan Mullery's life. He is very graphic about the ups and downs of his life in and out of football. I would highly recommend this book, an ideal Christmas pressie for that football mad person in your life.

Format:Paperback
An excellent read covering all of Alan's career warts an all !!. Very graphic when his life hits an all time low. Comes across as a very sincere down to earth family man who could also play bit !! I didn't realise he had played as many internationals. Certainly recommended to all avid Football Autobiography addicts.

One of the better autobiographies.
Too many soccer autobiographies, tell you very little about the real person,. It's all too 'look at me' nonsense.
Alan Mullery tells you like it is - grit and all, back in the days when football was football, and they didn't slide on their knees six times a match.
Good shot Mullers.

One of the best football biographies....
If only all football biographies were as interesting as this one. It is an honest, sometimes brutally so, read in which Mullery leaves no stone unturned. Read more

I don't remember Alan Mullery as a player, but I remember listening to him as a pundit on Capital Gold Sport back in the nineties. Read more

Breathless . . .
Just finished the Alan Mullery autobiography and it's one of those you wish would never end. This is an excellent account of the highs and lows of the game we all know and love. Read more
