As an American who loves watching the Premier League games every weekend, I have become a huge fan of Liverpool. Reading this autobiography of Steven Gerrard helped me gain insight into the depth of the football culture from youth leagues to the professional ranks in England. Gerrard's story is a fairly typical young boy achieves his dreams tale, but he is engaging and the book is lively and highly readable. His competitiveness and drive come through on every page and the background on some of the better known personalities in European football were very enlightening to this Yank since we obviously don't get the coverage here.

Steven Gerrard - wow what a wonderful football (soccer) player. And guess what? He can write as well. Very good read; interesting; informative about his growing up; his career at Liverpool and as an international star for England. He doesn't pull any punches; names names and praises and criticizes as he sees fit. Most sports autobiographies are rubbish particularly for someone who is in the middle of his career but this one is worth the time. Nice photo inserts as well.

This guy is just terrific. What a player. He is the only player a die hard Manchester United supporter like me would even consider to take a second look. But this guy is just off the chart. The book makes for some very interesting reading. I would recommend it.

I am 3/4 of the way through this book but am loving every minute of it. The one thing i appreciate about it is it is not your typical celebrity/ footballers autobiography were its all about me-me-me and how great they are. There are a lot of moments that you see the lows that Stevie G experienced in his career. It also gives a good insight into the goings on at Liverpool/ Anfield/ Melwood/ England training and in his personal life etc. I may be biased as a liverpool fan, but I am not one for reading books over 100 pages and I definitely recommend this book!

This is a must for every Liverpool fan to have, outstanding form the very first page.

This book is a must buy for all Liverpudlian of the new age!
I can positively say, I thought I knew Gerrard, yet this book prove to me HE is more than all that!!
Stevie G is a Man, A Liverpudlian, A Great Captain, and more...
This book shows his pain, his love, his proud moments, and my favorite part, the first person view of ISTANBUL!
This book has answered my deepest question on WHAT HAPPEN IN ISTANBUL!
And more than that, this book describe the vivid view of the new Liverpool club.The training ground, owen, houllier, benitez, and all the emotions that comes with it.
And yes, This book is now also my treasure!

Decent insight to Garrard's determination to succeed but little lacking in depth of content. Lots of swearing, which didn't bother me but doesn't really make for a great read.

the book arrived on time tho id expected to come sooner. its in in great condition, like new. will buy from this seller again!

If you are questioning whether or not you want to buy this book, do it. Steven Gerrard is a wonderful footballer, as I'm sure you know, and also a pretty good writer. I would definitely advise anyone to buy this book.
