In a stunning collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle, Roy Ke
ane gives a brutally honest account of his last days as a player, the highs and
lows of his managerial career, and his life as an outspoken ITV pundit. 'Roy Kea
ne's book is a masterpiece ...It may well be the finest, most incisive deconstru
ction of football management that the game has ever produced' Mail on Sunday 'A
genuine pleasure ...His thoughts on his players are humane, interesting, candid
and never less than believable' The Times 'The best things are the small things:
regretting joining Ipswich when he discovered the training kit was blue; refusi
ng to sign Robbie Savage because his answerphone message was rubbish; being appa
lled that his side had listened to an Abba song before playing football' Evening
Standard 'The book is brilliantly constructed, rattling along at breakneck spee
d ...full of self-deprecation ...a ruthless self-examination' Daily Telegraph
