4.0 out of 5 stars The original fergie fledgling, 24 Jan 2006
By Shyam (University Park, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Just picked this up along with the Giggs autobio, and though Giggsy is my favorite player ever, Sharpey's book is better. Gives a good look into how football has evolved as Sharpe bridged the old first division era to the glitz and glamour of the premiership. The book also gives a good look at Ferguson and shows how once you leave the hallowed walls of Old Trafford, its all downhill from there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lee - Fergie was right!, 29 Oct 2005
By Mr. A. L. Fielding - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What is it with footballer's autobiographies? Fans don't want to know what street your Grandma lived on - they want to know about Fergie's half-time team talks, who got a rollicking and who hates who, and why. This book is a blend of both. Mainly, however, it is all about Lee Sharpe's self-doubts (and that hat-trick against Arsenal - mentioned 43 times) - and no Lee you're wrong, you were a great player, and however much you try and kid yourself, you did throw it all away. It's clear from your book that Fergie rated you - he just didn't like your lifestyle and thought it would ultimately be your downfall - he was right. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you'll be able to put it behind you. Hope this helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read - Sharpey was an entertainer but flawed as a professional footballer in the modern era., 31 Aug 2007
By K. Anderson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really enjoyed this book. I loved him as a player, the way he played the game with a smile on his face brought joy to everyone. I think Sharpey is a bit bitter about how Ferguson treated him. I think he should look more at his own part in his downfall, and make no mistake, it was a downfall. He must have known leaving Utd that he would never achieve the success he could achieve if he stayed, yet he chose to move on just to continue to "be himself" and play as many games as possible. He wanted to be a professional footballer at one of the biggest clubs in the world and still be himself, not change one iota. Sharpey was not willing to adapt and he thinks he was right. Maybe he was, for himself, but he has no right to be bitter against anyone because of the decisions he made. Fergie didn't want to sell him. He expected Fergie to adapt and cajole him because that was what he needed, but he refused to adapt himself. Still, I think he was one of the great entertainers in English football over the past 20 years. He achieved a great deal while still having his "idea of fun" so he looks back correctly contented with that. But he comes up short in terms of having realised his potential as a professional footballer with a god given talent that very few have.
