Teddy Sherringham is a celebrated footballer playing for Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United.
'a fascinating insight into the world of top-flight football.' BATH CHRONICLE 'Sherringham's recollections provide an often very funny insight into the lifestyle of the modern footballer and- most amusingly- the unenviable 'honour' of working under Brian Clough.' TOTAL SPORT 'In an adulatory introduction to this book Terry Venables says that, "I thought about the nice things I could say about my friend Teddy Sheringham and the more I thought about it the more I realised that nice things were the only thing I had to say about him." Glowing, indeed, but in fact not that surprising. Teddy Sheringham has long been regarded as an "intelligent footballer", which usually means you don't run about very much, but in his case it indicates a rare willingness to work for the team even when that entails less glory for Teddy Sheringham. This is a priceless asset in football and this book reinforces his grown up reputation as Sheringham displays a shrewd awareness of life at the top of the football tree both on and of the field. We get the memories of working under Brian Clough, tactical disagreements with Alex Ferguson and Glenn Hoddle and his contractual disagreements with Alan Sugar. The incident in a Portuguese bar where he was photographed drinking and smoking in a night club at 6.30am when supposedly in pre-world cup purdah is explained away--he was "in a different time frame" apparently--and the disappointment of being replaced by Michael Owen half way through the World Cup is honestly presented. But most of all we get an unpretentious, professional job. Typical Sheringham really.' - Nick Wroe, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW
