Gray Matters

Starting as a seventeen-year old prodigy in Dundee, Andy Gray has become as much known for his perceptive insights as his striker's instincts. A hero at Aston Villa, Wolves and Everton, Andy looks back on his glittering career - the trophies, the inspiring (and infuriating) managers, the hardmen, the goals, the record transfers - along the way comparing his experiences with today's game. In his inimitable style, he explains how great teams become great, why some big money transfers fail, what makes the best managers tick and when to say no to football management.

Andy Gray is unique in tracing a line from the beginnings of the modern game to the Premiership, while still remaining passionate and impartial. His views and opinions - all offered with his trademark wit and enthusiasm - make this the most important and indispensable football book of the year.
