Book description
The new memoir from Sir Alex Ferguson, filled with never-before-seen photographs and memorabilia from his private archives. Twenty-one games. One extraordinary life.
Sir Alex Ferguson is widely regarded as the greatest football manager of all time. In this intimate memoir, he tells the stories of twenty-one defining matches in his career, revealing fresh insights into his journey from working-class Glasgow to the summit of global football as manager of Manchester United.
Reaching far beyond the trophy cabinet, Sir Alex relives seventy years of footballing history - from his first medal as a schoolboy in 1955 to watching United's 2024 FA Cup victory from the stands - to reflect on the relationships, rivalries, life lessons and moments of adversity that forged his character and his teams.
Written with Sir Michael Moritz, Games of My Life is a lesson in leadership, persistence, and the enduring power of teamwork, told through the drama of the beautiful game.
"I've selected 21 football games which are particularly meaningful to me - games that take me back to different points in my life. Some of these games are not in any television archive. They are just memories. But, in my mind, I am watching them now - in vivid colour." - Sir Alex Ferguson
