<pre spellcheck="false">The son of Spanish immigrants born in Canberra, Andy Bernal's incredible life journey has spanned three continents - Australia, Europe and South America - and some of the world's biggest names in football. A graduate of the AIS, he was the first Australian to play in La Liga.&nbsp;He went on to play with Ipswich Town,&nbsp;six seasons with Reading, five seasons&nbsp;with Sydney Olympic in the NSL, and 21 games with the Socceroos from 1989 to 1996.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
On retirement, he became an agent with global giants SFX which included time spent with David Beckham in Madrid. The low&nbsp;points of&nbsp;his life included&nbsp;being arrested because of a link&nbsp;to a sting operation as part of a global media scandal, followed by further high points via World Cup scouting, and meeting the love of his life.
&nbsp;
Ultimately, 'Riding Shotgun' is also a tale of life, hope and redemption that is raw, honest and heartfelt.
&nbsp;
Just as Andy Bernal, defender, left nothing out on the pitch, 'Riding Shotgun' leaves no aspect of Andy's life unexamined or unturned. It is a compelling read.
