À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Graeme Souness has racked up getting on for fifty years in and around the world of professional football. The game has been his life, and his enduring passion.

The Liverpool and Glasgow Rangers legend has written a perceptive and opinionated autobiography. It chronicles one of the most successful and colourful careers in the history of British football. But it also provides an intriguing assessment of the game which has dominated his existence, drawing extensively on his incredibly rich and varied experiences as a player, manager and pundit.

The result is a shrewd, incisive and hard-hitting memoir, at times laced with hindsight and regret, which also grapples with many of the major talking points affecting the game today. It is shot through with Souness' trademark tenacity and wisdom, and peppered with fantastic anecdotes from his glittering career.

Football: My Life, My Passion is the last half-century of British football writ large.
