Summary

Meet the man who helmed Manchester United for 27 years. A tour de force in the world of football, Alex Ferguson wrote this book for his fans, addressing personal feuds, triumphs and highlights of his life on the pitch. A must-listen for football fanatics around the world.

Revised and updated with new material from the paperback edition.

Includes a prelude read by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Sir Alex Ferguson's compelling story is always honest and revealing he reflects on his managerial career that embraced unprecedented European success for Aberdeen and 26 triumphant seasons with Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson's best-selling autobiography has now been updated to offer reflections on events at Manchester United since his retirement as well as his teachings at the Harvard Business School, a night at the Oscars and a boat tour round the Hebrides, where he passed unrecognised.

The extra material adds fresh insights and detail on his final years as United's manager.

Both the psychology of management and the detail of football strategy at the top level can be complex matters but no-one has explained them in a more interesting and accessible way for the general reader than Sir Alex does here.

My Autobiography is revealing, endlessly entertaining and above all inspirational.

The reader James Macpherson most notably appeared in 'Taggart' as DCI Mike Jardine, and has also read the audiobook editions of Ian Rankin's Rebus series and Billy Connolly's Route 66.

A great insight

Well narrated, with such a fascinating insight in the world of Fergie. Whatever team you support, this is well worth a listen.

Refreshing

The narration is superb. An amazingly interesting life. The down to earth humility of this football giant is no doubt part of the background to Sir Alex Ferguson's phenomenal success.

not what I expected

Manchester United and Fergie are certainly not a team I follow other than watching them trying to beat us season after season. However this book was a delight to listen to, a new found respect for the man has formed. The book is comedic in parts, enlightening in others; for a text that has a lot of name dropping it is difficult not to carry on listening.
The narrator is an easy going Scottish accent, with some good if not amusing impersonations of players and managers.

Worthy of a listen/read whether a MUFC fan or not.

Decent account of a legend

A little brief and more of a glimpse at his career.

The performance was good but the production and editing where poor.

Interesting biography & well narrated

I've had a copy of the book for many years but never got around to reading it. Started this audiobook not long ago and found it narrated well enough to listen through pretty quickly. Alex's career is inspiring and hearing his opinions on football, family and some politics was very interesting.
