Description
The ultimate illustrated legacy of the greatest football manager of all time.
In this personal and contemplative book, Sir Alex Ferguson has chosen twenty-one defining football matches to illuminate, with touching details, his journey from the shipyards of Govan to the summit of global football as manager of Manchester United.
Going far beyond the trophy cabinet, Sir Alex uses these games - ranging from his first medal as a schoolboy in 1956 to United's 2024 FA Cup victory - to explore the key relationships, life lessons, and moments of adversity that forged his character and his teams.
Games of My Life is a masterclass in leadership, persistence, and the enduring power of teamwork, told through the raw, unforgettable drama of the beautiful game. Featuring never-before-seen photos from throughout his life and career, it is a true celebration of Sir Alex and his enduring legacy.
