Summary
Peter Reid is one of the most colourful characters to emerge from England over the last 50 years. As a player, he established himself as one of the leading midfielders of his era, being named PFA Player of the Year in 1985 and credited as the fourth best footballer in the world. He won numerous honours with Everton, including two league titles, one FA Cup and one European Cup Winners’ Cup. He also won 13 England caps, playing at the 1986 World Cup - where a date with destiny at the ‘hand’ of Diego Maradona would provide a lasting, painful memory.
This is the unique story of a footballer who got to the top and never forgot his roots. Told with typical forthrightness, Peter’s audiobook will capture the imagination of football fans far and wide.

Very Sad
I found this very highly illuminating and also very sad. It portrayed a very intelligent and highly motivated and determined man who appears to have alcohol difficulties. All through the book there are constant references to drink and all his friends appear to be "hard drinkers" too. Peter appears to have been surrounded by drink all his life and now seems to be paying the price, especially if you listen to his epilogue, in his own voice. It was a good book but rather than sharing in his football successes it seemed to highlight a man who's life has been affected by drink. As I said, rather sad.

Disappointed
I liked Peter Reid as a player & his personality was infectious when I watched him in the odd documentary, but I was disappointed with him banging on about his politics & growing up in a council house, get over it!
I too was brought up on a council estate and enjoyed it and I’m proud to run my own business, but don’t keep going on about it.
Narration was OK, but let himself down with miss pronunciation of footballers names & venues.
I loved Reid’s passion & that came through and the stories were great, but something was missing, shame as I was really looking forward to listening.

Proper Footballer
Loved this autobiography from Peter Reid, he was a proper player, hard as nails who could also play, him and Paul Bracewell kept that great Everton team ticking over, evident he loves his family and those around him. Such a shame that side could never play in Europe, they surely would have won at least one European cup, great dominance on Merseyside. I would have preferred he narrated himself.

Undoubtedly the best football autobiography out there
You have to love Peter Reid.....ok, I loved the Everton side of the mid-80’s but this audiobook has so much more to it. The narrator is superb and reads the delightful stories perfectly . There is nothing I didn’t like about it all... Cheer up Peter, this book is wonderful

Good read
I liked the book a lot and would recommend this for people who are interested in the clubs her has managed. I almost wanted more detail on some of the managerial posts, but it was still good. A bright guy, clearly in to politics and is an entity missed in the game.

outstanding listen
Not the run of the mill manager/player book. Great stories about his family, other managers and players and have a new found respect after learning he paid bills and players wages at Plymouth.
