Sir Alex Ferguson. Britain’s most successful football manager.
In the year that he celebrates his 80th birthday, Fergie: Under The Hairdryer offers an original insight into the legendary boss’s unique way of operating, showing how his genius changed the footballing landscape.
Featuring new tales and recollections from those who know him best, it includes stories and contributions from the likes of Frank McGarvey, Gordon Strachan, Norman Whiteside, Bryan Robson, Brian McClair, Steve Bruce, Lee Sharpe, Gary Pallister, Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Steve McClaren, Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as well as many former colleagues and friends from the football world including Mark Hughes, who first coined the now famous ‘hairdryer’ phrase.
Author John Richardson and a host of writers will also tell their own inside story of working closely with such a formidable character – lifting the lid on the often explosive press conferences and private battles of will between the control freak who was Fergie and the reporters desperately trying to come away with a headline-making story.
