<p>The hugely entertaining autobiography of one of the most popular and highly respected managers in the English Football League.</p>
<p>Mention West Ham United FC and the name Harry Redknapp immediately springs to mind. The Hammers&#8217; boss is an institution in the game; his experience of English football in the Nineties from the perspective of one club is unsurpassed.</p>
<p>His was a controversial appointment, as he took over as manager at West Ham in 1994 to succeed former favourite Billy Bonds. But Redknapp broke the mould: he was one of the first Premiership managers to recruit heavily from abroad, and he gives a refreshing insight into how such players as Raducioiu, Dani, Boogers and other foreign buys adjusted &#8211; or in many cases, failed &#8211; to adapt to the frenetic pace and unique culture of English football.</p>
<p>More recently he has proved a shrewd investor in British talent. The likes of Trevor Sinclair, Neil Ruddock and Ian Wright have ensured that the Hammers have been a force to be reckoned with throughout this season&#8217;s Premiership campaign.</p>
<p>Away from football, Redknapp recalls his narrow escape from a near-fatal car accident in 1990 and the unique relationship with son Jamie, a quality player for Liverpool and England who is now married to pop star Louise.</p>
<p>In an extra chapter to the original hardback edition, Harry comments on the Hammers&#8217; performance during the 1998&#8211;99 season, and reveals the truth behind the many colourful and often controversial incidents that have beset the East End club in recent months.</p>
