Paula McGrath Kolejność książek (chronologicznie)

A brilliantly written novel about running away, growing up and finding out who you are, from the author of Generation.

It is a story that runs from a hard, hidden childhood spent in Dublin's orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football.

This autobiography of the footballer Paul McGrath chronicles his upbringing in Ireland in foster homes and orphanages, his early playing career with Pease Rovers, Dalkey United and St Patrick's Athletic, and his journey across the Irish Sea to Manchester United. The bright lights of Manchester caused their own problems - and thus began a battle with the bottle that has plagued his life. His soccer success at Old Trafford was mixed with trouble too - in the shape of knee injuries and public disagreements with manager Alec Ferguson. The book goes on to cover his playing career as an Ireland international and his move to Aston Villa, where he was voted the PFA's Player of the Year.
