Joe Royle The Autobiography

FOREWORD BY SIR ALEX FERGUSON Joe Royle became the youngest player to play for Everton in February 1966 and went on to win six caps under Alf Ramsey and Don Revie.

Injury forced a premature end to his career at 32, after spells with Manchester City, Bristol City, and Norwich. Then he became the manager who fell of the back of a lorry when joining Oldham in 1982.

Fourteen fantastic, fairytale years followed at the hard-up, homespun Lancashire club which Royle put on the soccer map. Oldham achieved the impossible by going to Wembley and spending three years in the Premiership. Then, it was off to Everton, to Manchester City, and to Ipswich as manager.

With a foreword by Sir Alex Ferguson, this book is an honest account of Joe's career and life, written with his full cooperation.

Reviews

An excellent story. An excellent book

—— FourFourTwo

Hannan is a writer of such skill that, although the bulk of Turnbull's footballing life took place in a remote era, much of the material is appetising and relevant

—— Patrick Barclay , Sundy Telegraph

Fascinating-honest to the point of self-laceration-Best will always remain a breath-taking example of supreme talent and courage

—— Independent

Unquestionably the greatest

—— Sir Alex Ferguson

Where this book differs from the others - and there have been a few - is in Best's attempts to face his demons

—— Michael Parkinson , Daily Telegraph
