Amazon.co.uk Review
In an adulatory introduction to this book Terry Venables says that, "I thought about the nice things I could say about my friend Teddy Sheringham and the more I thought about it the more I realised that nice things were the only thing I had to say about him." Glowing, indeed, but in fact not that surprising. Teddy Sheringham has long been regarded as an "intelligent footballer", which usually means you don't run about very much, but in his case it indicates a rare willingness to work for the team even when that entails less glory for Teddy Sheringham. This is a priceless asset in football and this book reinforces his grown up reputation as Sheringham displays a shrewd awareness of life at the top of the football tree both on and of the field. We get the memories of working under Brian Clough, tactical disagreements with Alex Ferguson and Glenn Hoddle and his contractual disagreements with Alan Sugar. The incident in a Portuguese bar where he was photographed drinking and smoking in a night club at 6.30am when supposedly in pre-world cup purdah is explained away--he was "in a different time frame" apparently--and the disappointment of being replaced by Michael Owen half way through the World Cup is honestly presented. But most of all we get an unpretentious, professional job. Typical Sheringham really. --Nick Wroe

Synopsis
Born in the year of England's World Cup triumph, Teddy Sheringham's professional career includes seven years at unfashionable Millwall prior to transfers to Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur and then Manchester United. In this autobiography, he tells his own story.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Good summary so far, needs updating., 7 April 2001 By A Customer Good on the earlier years at Millwall, obviously all the author's own work and quite honest on some of the characters in the game (Alan Sugar, Brian Clough for example) but now in dire need of an update to cover recent events (this year's renaissance at Manchester Utd, the Sugar trial). Probably only for real fans.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

His expieriences and views (sometimes contraversial) on soccer make this book a reasonably good read, however, the constant one liners spoil the flow slightly. Furthermore, Sheringham's vocabulary is hardly Jane Austin, typical of a Brittish soccer player. However, this book is worth the price and does the job, much like it's author.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
