Format:Paperback
This is a nice book for Liverpool fans in general, will give you a little bit of background on Fernando and also details about some of his early games as a Liverpool fc player, But If your looking for details on Fernando off the pitch and an insight into his life then this will be a disapointment, the book tends to touch on subjects on a breif basis and seems to quickly brush over it, Certainly worth a read but nothing to rave about
