Product Description
Product Description
Shaun Goater was signed by Alex Ferguson almost as a political pawn after a Manchester United tour of Bermuda went disastrously wrong. He never made it with United and instead moved on to Rotherham. Undeterred by homesickness and the Yorkshire weather, he became a huge favourite at Millmoor before moving to Bristol City, where his goal scoring exploits endeared him to the fans and caught the eye of Man City manager Joe Royle. He won over the sceptical City following, who had seen him only as a journeyman striker bought to plug a gap. Within a year, he'd become a cult figure and his knack of poaching goals soon gave rise to one of the best modern-day terrace chants 'Feed the Goat and he will score'. Season after season, the bond between player and supporters grew and his name was etched into City folklore. He was captain for their last match at Maine Road before joining Reading. His career stalled with the Royals when manager Alan Pardew left a few weeks after Goater's arrival and Steve Coppell took over. He went out on loan to Coventry before Southend United rescued him at the start of their highly successful 2005/06 season. "Feed the Goat" is the inspirational tale of a universally respected player who refused to give up on his dream.

Format:Paperback
A good read and great value for money. One of those books you should have read even if it isnt startling or the most memorable. I was a fan of the "goat" as a player and it is good to see his future plans and also the amount he is giving back to his homeland. You do feel a sense of liking for the man and feel he is very genuine and honest. One of the few books i have read where i would say the subject is a true gentleman. Worth the money to any football fan.

Format:Paperback
is like most football autobiographies in that it is basically telling you results but shaun just tells you what happened behind the scenes and what he was thinking about when key moments in games or when transfering although a much better read for a man city fan, as a southend fan he seemed to make southend a much smaller club than it is but is never disrespectful which can make a book good. he also tells the reader of his plans which are quite intresting but is worth it if u can get it for around £5
