About the Book

When Brad Friedel got his dream move to Liverpool in 1997, he was surprised by how basic the training facilities were and quickly realised how far they had to go if they were ever to regain their place at the top of the league. But it wasn't until he moved to Blackburn in 2000 that he really established himself in British football, becoming one of the Premier League's more enduring imports. But this book is about so much more than Friedel's own story: it is an insight into football and sport in general, at the very top level. Friedel, a student at UCLA, is a brilliant guide to the ins and outs of football. He reveals the moment when he could tell that Graeme Souness seemed to lost the support of the changing room after many good years at the club; he unveils the characters of those he has played with and against over the years and explains what it takes to succeed in one of the most competitive environments in sport. In short, this is an insider's account to stand comparison with the likes of classics of the genre such as Garry Nelson's Left Foot Forward or Simon Hughes's A Lot of Hard Yakka.

About the Author :
Brad Friedel is one of the most successful American players in Premier League history, making more than 250 appearances, having joined Liverpool in 1997 before moving to Blackburn Rovers in November 2000. He won 82 caps for the USA before retiring from international football in 2005.

Review :
Intelligent, observational, and uplifting - you won't be able to put it down. - SPORT 'Throughout the book he comes across as refreshingly different to the stereotypical Premiership player, making this a cut above the average footballer's memoir. Thoughtful and entertaining.' - SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY - Graham Bean
