1 comments about Clough: The Autobiography.

1. A good read from old "big mouth". He comes across as the arrogant, self confident, single minded man that made him a great manager and great entertainment.

   One of the best football autobiographies I've read.

1 comments about Wayne Rooney: Simply Red.

1. From The Sunday Times - Book of the Week, October 9 2005
   
   'FRANK WORRALL'S record of Wayne Rooney's first season at Old Trafford is a thoughtful, well-written account. The Scouser seems to have been around forever but was just 18 when he made his mark for England at Euro 2004, scoring four goals before injury against Portugal brought an end to his (and England's tournament), but Rooneymania was off and running. Worrall applies some perspective, expressing the view that well though Rooney had played, he probably wasn't even the best player at Euro 2004. But his life changed forever. The story is played out against the backdrop of Malcolm Glazer's takeover of Manchester United, but that is of little concern to the player. After deciding to leave his beloved Everton, he and girlfriend Coleen headed up the East Lancs Road for Old Trafford, with Sir Alex Ferguson blowing £27m on the young maestro. Rooney loves the big occasion and his United debut came in a Champions League match against Fenerbahce. United won 6-2, Rooney scored a hat-trick. Any doubts about whether Ferguson had done the right thing were dispelled in an instant. He produced the goods again when United brought Arsenal's unbeaten run to an end. The Gunners came to Old Trafford looking for a 50th game without defeat, but Rooney played out of his skin as United won 2-0. As the season unfolded, a pattern emerged. Rooney was seldom able to put two storming games together. But, as we are reminded, he was returning from injury and still learning his craft. On top of that, many of his teammates were struggling with form and fitness. The author is a dyed-in-the-red-wool United fan, so it is interesting to note that he takes issue with some of Rooney's excesses on the field, expressing astonishment that Ferguson refused to condemn the player when he should have been sent off against Bolton last season. Worrall also defends Coleen's spending habits - her shopping sprees became front-page news after the move to Manchester - as the actions of a girl who, for the first time in her life, has access to serious money. If she and Wayne were happy, whose business was it anyway? Simply Red reminds us of how far Rooney has already come. This story will run and run.

1. Pele: His Life And Times by Harry Harris (chief soccer correspondent of the London periodical "Mirror") is a first-rate, penetrating look at the world famous superstar athlete and the "Black Pearl" of championship soccer. From the soccer star's birth in Brazil 1940 to his unbelieveable triple set of World Cup championships to daily and family life, Pele: His Life And Times looks at everything that went into the making of a truly amazing sports figure and more. Pele: His Life And Times is a superbly presented and highly recommended sports biography and a "must" for the legions of Pele fans.
