3 out of 5 stars Some points...........2005-07-26

... he have, but overall he complains to much. What he has to give up, Ferguson yells, Keane says that....bla bla bla - and of course Stam never/selldom does wrong in/outside the pitch.

2 out of 5 stars Over paid and over rated.......2002-01-12

Whilst the book itself is quite well written the contents reveal a professional footballer expecting sympathy for the fact that he has to travel long distances for out of season friendly matches and he had to sacrifice a lump sum payment to play for one of the best teams in the world. There is little real insight into the professional game or recognition that the top players are priveleged individuals who are extremely well paid but who have responsibilities to their adoring public. The book fails to provide a good insight into the pleyers views on the key issues facing the sport. It is a major disappointment.

4 out of 5 stars A quick read albeit too focused on ManU.......2002-01-09

I have always wanted to know about the behind-the-scenes world of football and this book does the job. It drags on at times and is way too focused on Manchester United but Jaap gives a pretty decent account of his 3 years in english football.
