Sir Alex Ferguson's compelling story is always honest and revealing he reflects on his managerial career that embraced unprecedented European success for Aberdeen and 26 triumphant seasons with Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's best-selling autobiography has now been updated to offer reflections on events at Manchester United since his retirement as well as his teachings at the Harvard Business School, a night at the Oscars and a boat tour round the Hebrides, where he passed unrecognised. The extra material adds fresh insights and detail on his final years as United's manager. Both the psychology of management and the detail of football strategy at the top level can be complex matters but no-one has explained them in a more interesting and accessible way for the general reader than Sir Alex does here. MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY is revealing, endlessly entertaining and above all inspirational.… (mais)

about a legendary football manager ( )

Rather sloppily written, although to be expected for a football autobiog, but still an entertaining read. He's pretty open about his players, particularly enjoyed the inside talk on various transfers. Have no love for the man or his former club but he's undeniably a great manager. ( )

I think Ferguson is a "non-fiction" person and he prefers to focus on the rules, practicality and success rather than jokes. He is a serious man with a funny side and not the other way.

The whole book, however, has little coherence. For example, The chapter may be on Mourinho but Ferguson ended up talking about other things not even remotely related to Mourinho. names pop out everywhere as well. For example, Rooney 's name will pop out everywhere. same for Scholes and Giggs. I think these three players made the most impact in ferguson ' s 20 years tenure.

I don't think this is a must read as the content is all messed up and most of it are just some short dialogue and small insights like oh we shouldn't have lost the match or the scoreline flattered the other team. The book only has 60% reading material. the other 40% are football results and photos. ( )

A pesar de no ser fanático del Manchester United, equipo que fue dirigido por Alex Ferguson durante 27 años, cuando supe de este libro -hace unos años atrás- me dije que algún día lo leería.

¡Misión cumplida!

My Autobiography fue publicado en el 2013, seguido de la última temporada de Ferguson con el Manchester United. Es un libro que encierra detalles que los fanáticos regulares desconocen. Cosas que pasan en el campo durante un partido, lo que pasa entre bastidores, la personalidad de los jugadores, encuentros con otros DTs (directores técnicos), la media y mucho más.

Conoceremos bastante sobre Ferguson, sus inicios, su carrera como jugador y, por supuesto, su carrera como director técnico. Los jugadores que admiró y aquellos con los que tuvo problemas. Además, su punto de vista en relación a otros equipos, otros entrenadores, otros jugadores, etc. Pero, sobretodo, su gran amor hacia el club que dirigió por tantos años.

Their biggest gift to me was the time to build a football club, rather than a football team.

My Autobiography está dividido por capítulos, cada uno nombrado con la temática principal a tratar, por ejemplo, apellidos de jugadores (Ronaldo, Rooney, Beckham, Keane, Van Nistelrooy, Rio Ferdinand), entrenadores (Mourinho – ‘The Special Rival’, Competing with Wenger), equipos (Liverpool – A Great Tradition, Barcelona (2009-11) – Small is Beautiful, Man City – Champions). También, por supuesto, capítulos dedicados a su club (The Class of ’92, A World of Talent, United’s 19th Title y The Last Campaign, para mencionar algunos). Capítulos como Glasgow Roots y Family tocan temas más personales. En total son unas 25 partes, finalizando con las estadísticas de Ferguson (como jugador y técnico) y luego con una sección dedicada a fotos. El libro se extiende a poco más de 400 páginas.

Disfruté mucho la prosa de Ferguson, quien escribió junto a Paul Hayward. Pocos capítulos tienen desperdicio y el mejor, personalmente, fue el dedicado al Barcelona de Pep Guardiola.

At Barcelona they had these wonderful mites, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with the courage of lions, to take the ball all time and never allow themselves to be bullied. The accomplishments of Messi, Xavi and Andrés Iniesta were amazing to me.

My Autobiography es un libro muy bueno, rico en detalles y que se disfruta plenamente aún cuando no se es fan del Manchester United. Alex Ferguson es un personaje interesante, uno con quien podría cenar afablemente conversando sobre cosas de las que poco sé y disfrutando de una copa de vino de su extensa colección.

I’m glad to say that the simple act of reading is a marvellous release from the hassles of work and life. ( )
