About the Book

'ENDLESSLY ABSORBING' Mail on Sunday 'MASTERPIECE' The Times 'RUTHLESS' Daily Telegraph 'INCOMPARABLE' Sunday Mirror 'SEARINGLY HONEST' The Sun The No.1 bestselling memoir of Roy Keane, former captain of Manchester United and Ireland In a stunning collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle, Roy Keane gives a brutally honest account of his days as a player, the highs and lows of his managerial career and his life as an outspoken ITV pundit. As part of a tiny elite of football players, Roy Keane has had a life like no other. His status as one of football's greatest stars is undisputed, but what of the challenges beyond the pitch? How did he succeed in coming to terms with life as a former Manchester United and Ireland leader and champion, reinventing himself as a manager and then a broadcaster, and cope with the psychological struggles this entailed? THE SECOND HALF blends anecdote and reflection in Roy Keane's inimitable voice. The result is an unforgettable personal odyssey which fearlessly challenges the meaning of success.

About the Author :
ROY KEANE was born in Cork in 1971, and is now a television pundit for Sky Sports and ITV after an astonishingly successful football career as captain of Manchester United and Ireland. He is also currently a co-host on Gary Neville's The Overlap: Stick to Football Podcast. RODDY DOYLE was born in Dublin in 1958 and still lives there today. He is the author of thirteen acclaimed novels including THE COMMITMENTS, THE SNAPPER, THE GUTS, and most recently LOVE. He won the Booker Prize in 1993 for PADDY CLARKE HA HA HA and his 1991 novel THE VAN was a Booker Prize finalist.

Review :
Roy Keane's book is a masterpiece: The Second Half gives a startling account of his colourful career and reveals the hard-man midfielder's long-hidden good points ... an endlessly absorbing piece of work - MAIL ON SUNDAY It is a masterpiece of the genre and one that paints, in an entirely unintentional way, an extremely flattering portrait of the man ... Keane is not afraid to laugh at himself by telling stories against himself ... His thoughts on his players are humane, interesting, candid and never less than believable - THE TIMES It makes a change from the standard sporting autobiography in being so hard on its principal subject. This is a book full of self-deprecation ... No self-aggrandisement, rather a ruthless self-examination - DAILY TELEGRAPH An incomparable achievement - SUNDAY MIRROR
