Format:Hardcover
Niall Quinn has produced a skilfully crafted account of his life as a professional footballer with additional spice added with a frank and revealing reflection on the Roy Keane's World Cup exit. It is not the standard fare footballer's biography of monotonous regurgitation of score lines.
It is a witty, cleverly written reflection from one of footballs Mr Nice guys.
As one of the main protagonists in the Roy Keane affair, Quinn's insight will be welcomed by all those interested in a balanced view of the episode.
It is a real story, told honesty and with charm, that will, shock you, make you will laugh out loud but overall make you wish for more.

Format:Paperback
Very good read and a lesson in the way that football has chnaged over the last 20 years. I bought the book mainly to read about the Man City years but found everything in it very interesting. Quinn comes across as a likeable character with a great attitude to life. Anyone interested in the Roy Keane affair and the 2002 World Cup will find it fascinating.
There are some great annecdotes (well I found them great but my wife didn't understand what I was reading her !) especially about his drinking. A warning - if Quinny ever invites you out for a drink don't go if you have got anything to do in the next three days. Just ask Tony Adams !
It appears that he wrote it himself. I couldn't see any mention of a ghost writer which for a sports book makes it even more refreshing.
