Alex: The Man Behind the Legend

Fast delivery .A great read

Best biography I've read in ages. David Lyons really manages to include detailed account, charting Fergusons rise to prominence as well as capturing the mood of the United team, winning trophies whist simultaneously breaking previous records to become the most successful club in England. Touching and fascinating, well worth a read.

The print is rather small it would be easier to read if it was larger.

I liked everything about the book his family his achievements and his philosophy to the game.The only thing I didn't like was that they never listened to him to give David Moyes longer as manager .I would recommend this book to any United fan of fans alike thank you sir Alex Ferguson for all the years of happiness you brought to us

World of books are amazing to deal with. Never had an issue with world of books. I would highly recommend world of books to anyone. Keep up the good work.

The book was brilliant. All the highs and lows of his life personally and professionally in football was really good and I really enjoyed it😊👍🏻

Christmas present for a Manchester united fan

A poor attempt at getting behind the myth and the author undermines his own authority with some glaring errors, irritating phrases and apparently lazy research. He repeatedly refers to Ferguson as the ‘govanman’. Being from Glasgow myself, I’ve never once heard of a Govanite referred to by that name. Andrea Pirlo is at one point referred to as ‘Andre’. Another glaring error; the author recounts how, after winning his first league title with Aberdeen in 1980, Ferguson galloped across the Pittodrie turf and into the arms of his goalkeeper Bobby Clark. That title was won at Hibernian’s ground, Easter Road, not Pittodrie. Whilst a fairly interesting read, I’m afraid the entire book comes across as being rushed and lacking in in-depth research, with most of the ‘revelations’ and anecdotes being lifted directly from Ferguson’s own writings or those of his players. The author irritatingly often attempts to quote Ferguson in Glaswegian dialect, as though this lends authenticity to quotes that can be read pretty much verbatim, and in plain English, in any number of other books by or about the man. One of the poorer attempts at bringing the great man to life on the page and a better option would be to hear it all from the horse’s mouth by reading his own autobiographies.

Well worth the read.
