<p>The hugely entertaining autobiography of one of the most popular and highly respected managers in the English Football League.</p><p>Mention West Ham United FC and the name Harry Redknapp immediately springs to mind. The Hammers' boss is an institution in the game; his experience of English football in the Nineties from the perspective of one club is unsurpassed.</p><p>His was a controversial appointment as he took over as manager at West Ham in 1994 to succeed former favourite Billy Bonds. But Redknapp broke the mould: he was one of the first Premiership managers to recruit heavily from abroad and he gives a refreshing insight into how such players as Raducioiu Dani Boogers and other foreign buys adjusted - or in many cases failed - to adapt to the frenetic pace and unique culture of English football.</p><p>More recently he has proved a shrewd investor in British talent. The likes of Trevor Sinclair Neil Ruddock and Ian Wright have ensured that the Hammers have been a force to be reckoned with throughout this season's Premiership campaign.</p><p>Away from football Redknapp recalls his narrow escape from a near-fatal car accident in 1990 and the unique relationship with son Jamie a quality player for Liverpool and England who is now married to pop star Louise.</p><p>In an extra chapter to the original hardback edition Harry comments on the Hammers' performance during the 1998-99 season and reveals the truth behind the many colourful and often controversial incidents that have beset the East End club in recent months.</p>
