1 comments about Wayne Rooney: Simply Red.

1. From The Sunday Times - Book of the Week, October 9 2005
   
   'FRANK WORRALL'S record of Wayne Rooney's first season at Old Trafford is a thoughtful, well-written account. The Scouser seems to have been around forever but was just 18 when he made his mark for England at Euro 2004, scoring four goals before injury against Portugal brought an end to his (and England's tournament), but Rooneymania was off and running. Worrall applies some perspective, expressing the view that well though Rooney had played, he probably wasn't even the best player at Euro 2004. But his life changed forever. The story is played out against the backdrop of Malcolm Glazer's takeover of Manchester United, but that is of little concern to the player. After deciding to leave his beloved Everton, he and girlfriend Coleen headed up the East Lancs Road for Old Trafford, with Sir Alex Ferguson blowing £27m on the young maestro. Rooney loves the big occasion and his United debut came in a Champions League match against Fenerbahce. United won 6-2, Rooney scored a hat-trick. Any doubts about whether Ferguson had done the right thing were dispelled in an instant. He produced the goods again when United brought Arsenal's unbeaten run to an end. The Gunners came to Old Trafford looking for a 50th game without defeat, but Rooney played out of his skin as United won 2-0. As the season unfolded, a pattern emerged. Rooney was seldom able to put two storming games together. But, as we are reminded, he was returning from injury and still learning his craft. On top of that, many of his teammates were struggling with form and fitness. The author is a dyed-in-the-red-wool United fan, so it is interesting to note that he takes issue with some of Rooney's excesses on the field, expressing astonishment that Ferguson refused to condemn the player when he should have been sent off against Bolton last season. Worrall also defends Coleen's spending habits - her shopping sprees became front-page news after the move to Manchester - as the actions of a girl who, for the first time in her life, has access to serious money. If she and Wayne were happy, whose business was it anyway? Simply Red reminds us of how far Rooney has already come. This story will run and run.

1 comments about Kenny Dalglish Autobiography.

1. This book is one of the best I have ever read. It gives you more information about him, more then the newspapers could give you in 5 years. He tells you about all the good times he had at Liverpool being both manager and player. Explaining some of the arguments as well. My dad has met Kenny in the late 70's. He went to go and watch Liverpool play and on the way home he got on the bus with the full squad. My dad also stayed with them and in the morning Kevin Keegan asked him to nip down to the chemist for him. So the helpful man my dad is he zoomed off to the chemist but only forgot the money!!! So he had to run all the way back for the money. Now back to Kenny Dalglish. The greatest footballer Liverpool have ever had. This book is one of a kind. I would reccommend anyone to buy this book.
