{"product_id":"9781408149515","title":"Life with Sir Alex: A Fan's Story of Ferguson's 25 Years at Manchester United","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of one of the most successful football clubs in history under one of the greatest football managers of our time. But it is also a book about what it has meant to be a Manchester United supporter during the remarkable 25-year reign of Sir Alex Ferguson. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins in the winter of 1986 - when Sir Alex found himself in charge of a demoralised club facing relegation - and describes the creation of his first great side, including Schmeichel, Bruce, Pallister, Keane, Ince, Giggs, Hughes and Cantona. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt goes on to introduce Fergie's Fledglings - the generation of David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Gary and Phil Neville - who were thrown straight into Ferguson's side as teenagers, won the double in 1996 and went on to seal the treble in Barcelona in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt then describes how, after Beckham left for Real Madrid in 2003, United were knocked off their perch first by Arsenal, then by cash-rich Chelsea. Ferguson needed a response to Jose Mourinho's spectacular revolution ... And in Rooney and Ronaldo, playing alongside Rio Ferdinand, Scholes, Giggs, Tevez and Vidic, he found one. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs much an homage to a great man as it is a passionate account of one fan's lifelong devotion to his team, Life with Sir Alex is a the perfect read for football fans all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Pacey, humorous and intelligent. A great insight into the one-way relationship between a fan and the object of his obsession.'
