Publisher Description
No player has been more synonymous with the glory years of Manchester United Football Club over the past two decades than right-back Gary Neville. An Old Trafford regular since he attended his first match at the age of six, captain of the brilliant 1992 FA Youth Cup-winning team that became known as 'Fergie's Fledglings', outspoken representative of MUFC, Neville is the ultimate one-club man. He has been at the heart of it all and, at the end of an amazing career, is now ready to tell it all.
Authoritative, insightful, fearless and never less than 100% honest, no-one has better credentials for documenting the story of United under Sir Alex Ferguson. Neville reveals the behind-the-scenes secrets of his early days with the likes of Giggs, Scholes and his best mate David Beckham; what it was like to play with Cantona, Keane and Ronaldo; the Treble in 1999; and of course an entire career of playing for the greatest manager in the game.
Then there are all his experiences with England, from being the youngest starter at Euro 96 when football came home, to the ups and downs of five major championships and seven managers - Venables, Hoddle, Wilkinson, Keegan, Eriksson, McClaren and Capello. There are opinions and analysis on Gazza, Rooney, WAGs and the true story of the FA and Rio Ferdinand.
For twenty glorious years, Gary Neville has worn his heart on his sleeve. This is his story.

Review
An excellent read could not put it down.
Whilst I did not learn anything new, with someone as high profile. Neville has had a career spanning 20 years which has seen he and his Manchester united and England teams involved in many high profile encounters.
Neville does not sit on the fence and offers plenty of opinion on both teammates and opposition(s).
A worthy read and far better than some of the other autobiographies on offer from fellow team mates in the same successful sides e.g. Giggs beckham etc.
Neville nails his colours to the mast and I certainly discovered a loyal and modest side from a genuine professional, a partisan individual who divides popular opinion.
Love him or hate him it is worth a tenner.

True Red
Fantastic book that is a must read for football fans throughout the world, and not just United fans. Neville describes both the good and bad times with club and country. An interesting account of the goings on in these high pressure circles. Highly recommended
