About this listen

Meet the man who helmed Manchester United for 27 years. A tour de force in the world of football, Alex Ferguson wrote this book for his fans, addressing personal feuds, triumphs and highlights of his life on the pitch. A must-listen for football fanatics around the world.

Revised and updated with new material from the paperback edition.

Includes a prelude read by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Sir Alex Ferguson's compelling story is always honest and revealing he reflects on his managerial career that embraced unprecedented European success for Aberdeen and 26 triumphant seasons with Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson's best-selling autobiography has now been updated to offer reflections on events at Manchester United since his retirement as well as his teachings at the Harvard Business School, a night at the Oscars and a boat tour round the Hebrides, where he passed unrecognised.

The extra material adds fresh insights and detail on his final years as United's manager.

Both the psychology of management and the detail of football strategy at the top level can be complex matters but no-one has explained them in a more interesting and accessible way for the general reader than Sir Alex does here.

My Autobiography is revealing, endlessly entertaining and above all inspirational.

The reader James Macpherson most notably appeared in 'Taggart' as DCI Mike Jardine, and has also read the audiobook editions of Ian Rankin's Rebus series and Billy Connolly's Route 66.

Solid, if a little egotistical

What made the experience of listening to Alex Ferguson the most enjoyable?

The narration is great, the story is solid and full of rather interesting insights for any football fan. Towards the end Fergie drifts off into a little bit of his own ego but I suppose it's hard to write a book about oneself without doing a touch of that.

Would you be willing to try another book from Alex Ferguson? Why or why not?

I think I'm fine. As an Arsenal fan there's only so much I can take!

What about James Macpherson and Alex Ferguson ’s performance did you like?

It seemed very authentic, I felt like I was listening to the man himself most of the time.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Fergie's life on the sideline

Glory glory Man United

Easily a must read for any United fan who came of age as a supporter of United during the Sir Alex Ferguson era. Though I’m biased, it’s definitely a great book for any non-United fan or football and has some great life lessons and stories within the pages.
