In the 11 seasons that followed, he would become the most successful manager in the club’s history winning eight Premier League Titles between 1992 and 2003.

If you want to read a autobiography that just says nice things about everyone then don't bother reading this, on the other hand if you want to hear all the inside news from undoubtably the greatest club manager of all time with no holds barred then get ready for a cracking read, it's a autobiography at the end of the day not everything is a bed of roses so expect the unexpected, it's typical of Sir Alex leaving you on the edge of your seat not knowing what's going to happen next. It tells of his childhood, where and when he attended school, and how he became a skilled toolmaker and then a professional football player. He would become a very integral part of Manchester United, and the club would become synonymous with the manager. Rafael Benítez, the former Liverpool manager who accused Ferguson of exercising undue influence over referees, is given predictably short shrift (a control freak whose teams were "dull").

Avoiding distractions: He talks about Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the top players in the world and how he is disciplined. As a player Fergie's career was more distinguished than most people know, and his account of his early days in Govan and in Scottish football are incredible, especially when one considers the pampered lifestyle of footballers nowadays, and the depths to which Scottish football has lamentably fallen. In 1974, he entered management with East Stirlingshire and St Mirren before joining Aberdeen, where consistent domestic success, followed by victory in the 1983 Cup Winners' Cup over Real Madrid, brought him wider attention.

The tell all book reveals what he thought about his players – he tears into Roy Keane, tells about his fallout with David Beckham. This is another paragraph Book Description: Sir Alex announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United after 27 years in the role. Alex Ferguson began his journey to becoming the greatest manager of Manchester United in 1990 when he won the FA Cup. The book then covers the 2006-07 season which saw the Scotsman’s side bounce back in style and depose Chelsea at the top. He talks of how the games changed and times passed, family values and they are the ones he carries into his working life.He went on to play for Queen's Park and five other professional football clubs including the idols of his boyhood, Rangers. The only constant element has been the quality of the manager's league-winning squad and United's run of success, which included winning the Champions League for a second time in 2008. This is "control" – the key word in Ferguson's philosophy of management – exerted well after the final whistle has been blown. The chapter headings suggest a highlights package of the rows, controversies and personality clashes of the Premier League era.
