Red: My Autobiography

Brought to you by Penguin.

No player has been more synonymous with the glory years of Manchester United Football Club over the past two decades than right-back Gary Neville. An Old Trafford regular since he attended his first match at the age of six, captain of the brilliant 1992 FA Youth Cup-winning team that became known as 'Fergie's Fledglings', outspoken representative of MUFC, Neville is the ultimate one-club man. He has been at the heart of it all and, at the end of an amazing career, is now ready to tell it all.

Authoritative, insightful, fearless and never less than 100% honest, no-one has better credentials for documenting the story of United under Sir Alex Ferguson. Neville reveals the behind-the-scenes secrets of his early days with the likes of Giggs, Scholes and his best mate David Beckham; what it was like to play with Cantona, Keane and Ronaldo; the Treble in 1999; and of course an entire career of playing for the greatest manager in the game.

Then there are all his experiences with England, from being the youngest starter at Euro 96 when football came home, to the ups and downs of five major championships and seven managers - Venables, Hoddle, Wilkinson, Keegan, Eriksson, McClaren and Capello. There are opinions and analysis on Gazza, Rooney, WAGs and the true story of the FA and Rio Ferdinand.

For twenty glorious years, Gary Neville has worn his heart on his sleeve. This is his story.

Reviews

Rich in detail and insight... fascinating stuff

—— Sam Wallace , Independent

Nevastating

—— Steven Howard , The Sun

The English generally like their professional footballers to be either thick or humble, preferably both. Gary Neville is neither and has taken plenty of flak about daring to have opinions. If he was Dutch or Italian, rather than from Bury, he'd be considered an intellectual and his views sought on world affairs

—— When Saturday Comes

Refreshing honesty... Although he's generally disliked by non-United fans and even derided as one of the least talented in a remarkable generation, you have to admire his staying power. His memoir presents a rounded footballer aware of the importance of work and the dedication needed to stay at the pinnacle of the game

—— Rob Greig , Time Out

This fine autobiography strengthens the belief that he is a football fan doing something he adores while enjoying the recognition of those he admires most

—— Peter Sharkey , Yorkshire Evening Post

His autobiography drips with enthusiasm for the game... Carra is always forthright, frequently funny and resolutely down to earth

—— Nick Churchill , Bournemouth Echo

Carragher is as direct here as he is in the tackle and by the end, there isn't a football fan alive who won't have warmed to him

—— Malachy Clerkin , Sunday Tribune

Unflinchingly honest

—— Zoo

The journey to upstanding professional and all-round good guy is colourfully chronicled in Carra

—— Matt Dickinson , Times

Notable for its honesty. The Liverpool defender's published opinion that he is happier retired from international football prompted a media frenzy

—— Martin Pengelly , Guardian

One of the few current footballers worth an autobiography

—— Jonathan Ruppin , Bookseller

Heart-rending. A love letter to the natural world in all its wondrous glory . . . spellbinding

—— Herald

Explores the challenge of returning to mainstream life after homelessness

—— Daily Express, 2020 Hot Reads

The Wild Silence confirms Raynor as a natural and extremely talented writer with an incredible way with words. This book gives us all what we wanted to know at the end of The Salt Path which is what happened next. So moving, it made me cry . . . repeatedly

—— Sophie Raworth

This book promises to take you away with the same amazing descriptive and emotive writing found in The Salt Path

—— David Atherton, Great British Bake Off Winner 2019 , Waitrose Weekend

Profoundly moving and emotionally transcendent reading

—— The List

Unflinching . . . Another beautifully poignant read about triumph over adversity, and adjusting to life after immense change

—— The List

Intimate in feel and ambitious in scope . . . Throughout it all [Winn] retains her faith in the importance of having an almost visceral connection to the land

—— Observer

This sequel sees the pair trying unsatisfactorily to readjust to normal life before finding ways to reharness nature's healing power

—— Telegraph

Moving. A must-read for anyone inspired by The Salt Path . . . another thoughtful memoir

—— Good Housekeeping

The quality of Winn's writing draws us through the story with the same emotional honesty, lyricism and warmth that epitomises The Salt Path

—— Resurgence & Ecologist

A poignant and passionate, grounded yet uplifting journey of discovery in which we learn what can be found after all seems lost, The Wild Silence is a testament to the transformative power of nature and the fresh hope it nurtures within ourselves

—— Steven McKenzie, editor of The Big Issue

Picks up the story where Winn's astonishing The Salt Path left off

—— The New European

Wise, unflinching, exquisite prose

—— Rachel Joyce

Luminous and touching

—— Foyles

Raynor Winn's story has become the stuff of legend

—— Cornwall Life

Writing with such honesty is a trademark of [Winn's] style

—— The Marshwood Vale Magazine

'9 new books to read this September'

—— SheerLuxe

Powerful

—— Writers Forum

Beautiful

—— Herald

'Country Life Book of the Week'

—— Country Life

Down to earth yet astonishing . . . touching

—— This England

So beautifully told

—— i

Want a book that's going to leave you chilled to the bone? This is it!

—— Fabulous Magazine

Sarah Pearse's chilling debut is making waves. The Sanatorium certainly has an eerie, cinematic appeal [...] With whispers of The Shining in setting and The Girl on the Train in pace.

—— Vanity Fair

I absolutely loved The Sanatorium - it gave me all the wintry thrills and chills. It was just wonderful.

—— Lucy Foley, bestselling author of THE HUNTING PARTY and THE GUEST LIST

Genuinely scary and deliciously atmospheric, and one of the best books of 2021, this international bestseller is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

—— Woman & Home

What a page-turner! Like Agatha Christie crossed with Scandi noir, and doing with Swiss mountains what Jane Harper books do with the Australian outback. Loved it, and can't wait for the next Elin book!

—— Andrea Mara, author of ALL HER FAULT
