Packed with anecdotes and stories from his successful spell in the States, this autobiography of football maverick Rodney Marsh charts his tough and violent upbringing in the East End and the emergence of his football career at fashionable Fulham, playing alongside the legendary Johnny Hayes. After a spell at QPR he moved to Manchester City where he became a cult hero among the fans who loved his outrageous skills. It was also the period in which he first grew close to George Best. He is now well known for his appearances as a regular television sports pundit.
Rodney is a straight talking sort of guy . This book outlines how this characteristic had impeded him in his football career. The first three quarters of the book are an enjoyable run through his playing and coaching career . The last few chapters felt like filling with his all time top team , what is wrong with the FA and footballing trends .
Would have rated a s 3.5 stars but this site only permits full stars so went for 4 (as far as I know ) .
