5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read!!, 10 Sep 2006
By S. Woods - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strachan: My Life in Football (Hardcover)
Strachan is a super book and if you already have heard or seen Gordon Strachan on TV, you will know he is a sharp and witty man, and the book doesn't disappoint. He is very honest and open about his career, and i would recommend the book to any football fan

4.0 out of 5 stars Wee man, 13 Feb 2007
By Dk Roche "orangehens" (Rugby) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strachan: My Life in Football (Hardcover)
As quick witted with his words as he used to be with his feet.

A frank and honest account of his career, he lets us understand the strains managers are constantly under.And why quite often they make wrong decisions.

Why he and Fergy still do not get on amongst other gems.

One of the better football books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Good Autobiography, 8 Jan 2009
By J.Flood (Dublin,Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strachan: My Life in Football (Hardcover)
In this book Gordon gives a good account of his playing career from the successful Aberdeen team of the early 1980s, to Manchester United, and then onto Leeds and Coventry. He also discusses his falling out with manager Alex Ferguson.

The part that deals with his managerial career is also interesting, particularly his time with Coventry and Southampton. He gives a good insight into the stress and strain of managing those two clubs, that were often struggling to stay up in the Premiership, and had to sell their top players in order to survive.

I had been expecting a few more funny stories/anecdotes, though, from his long career in football.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible disappointment.
Strachan is one of the wittiest men in football. Shame it didn't come through in the book. Glosses over the newsworthy stuff, labours over the mundane. Read more
