Best sports autobiography I've ever read

As a child who grew up in an Ireland that was being taken over by the wonders of Jack Charlton's Ireland team, McGrath was always a hero of mine. There were always the little hints that all was not well off the field, but on it, he was a legend. This goes into the painful depths of what was behind this amazing footballer and makes you appreciate even more how successful he became. This book gives an amazingly honest insight into the life of one of the greatest Irish sportsmen. A must for anyone who likes to read sports autobiographies.

Back from the Brink

This is a riviting account of an extraordinary, complex and successful life which impacted millions. Without any undersatnding how this individual instinctivly lived a life of chasos, triumph and glory, he was a man who was adored by so many. The toast of his native Ireland, Ooh Ah Paul McGrath! an astonisging individual. Enjoy the book which bencmarks one of the great periods in Ireland's maturity as a nation and as a soccer force in the world. Aidan
