4.0 out of 5 stars A sad story of a footballing Genius, 20 Jun 2004
In this book Paul Gascoigne tells a harrowing tale of never growing up and being taken advantage of. Fron his humble upbringing through football, drugs, alcohol, scandal and humiliation he has maintained his love for football. A well told life story with what seems to be little sensationalisation by the writer Hunter Davies.

A cracking read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hero Or Enigma ??, 24 Nov 2004
Being a big football fan I couldn't wait to read this account of the life (so far) of the most talented player of my generation. The book starts with stories of humble beginnings and stories of rucks and scrapes in a childhood that was soon overtaken with tragedy. Tragic though some of the incidents are, you can't help feeling that he's pushing these accounts through as some sort of excuse for his behaviour later in life. Once we're into the career at Spurs and England the pace livens up and we get some honest accounts of some 'infamous' Gazza moments, some of it quite funny others again quite sad in a tragic sense of the word. By the end of the book it's difficult to decide how you view him on the one hand the most talented player of his generation with a tragic background, on the other the man who had it all and blew it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad lad, 22 Jun 2004
By D. W. Miller "dmiller945" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is one of theose sports books that you can read over a couple of days. That is not to say that it is an uninteresting effort. The ghost writer has done a good job and through him we learn Gazza's story sensitively told. I think it is truthful and probably a must read for aspiring young stars in the game.
I think Gazza has now grown up and he is able to look back on his life (so far) with a realistic eye.
I loved him as a footballer but hearing the stories of his personal life, not as a man. Although never justifying his worst excesses, this book has redeemed him somewhat. He blames nobody but himself and for that I respect him but remain doubtful that he has the skills to cope with a life beyond the spotlight. I fear for him.
