Description
The major new memoir from Sir Alex Ferguson, filled with never-before-seen photographs and memorabilia from his private archives.
Twenty-one games. One extraordinary life.
Sir Alex Ferguson is widely regarded as the greatest football manager of all time. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, he tells the unique stories of twenty-one defining matches in his career, revealing fresh insights into his incredible journey from working-class Glasgow to the summit of global football as manager of Manchester United.
Reaching far beyond the trophy cabinet, Sir Alex relives seventy years of footballing history - from his first medal as a schoolboy in 1956 to watching United's 2024 FA Cup victory from the stands - to reflect on the relationships, rivalries, life lessons and moments of adversity that forged his character and his teams.
Written with Sir Michael Moritz, Games of My Life is a masterclass in leadership, persistence, and the enduring power of teamwork, told through the raw, unforgettable drama of the beautiful game. Shedding new light on the real stories behind the headlines, it is a true celebration of Sir Alex and his legacy.
'I've selected 21 football games which are particularly meaningful to me - games that take me back to different points in my life. Some of these games are not in any television archive. They are just memories. But, in my mind, I am watching them now - in vivid colour' - Sir Alex Ferguson
