Another thoroughly enjoyable football autobiography, very entertaining and readable. Some anecdotes had me chuckling and smiling throughout.

Sadly I am too young to have enjoyed King Kev at Liverpool, and memories of him I think are diminished to the success of his direct replacement, King Kenny.

I really enjoyed the book and it was interesting to see how his career developed and his second caree as a manager. There is certainly more to it than the famous "love it" interview.

Shame that it ended on a low note at Newcastle but one of the best English footballers ever had one hell of a career.

Pretty good well written biography from Mr Keegan. Better than average football biography. Some amazing and hilarious moments, such as the background info on the “Love it” interview, the segment where he describes Michael Jackson turning up at Craven Cottage is hilarious and memorable. My only criticism is that parts of this book are written as if you know the story already, so if you are a stranger to Keegan’s life you might have to fill in some gaps. But overall a really good read, essential for any football fan.
