#2 Managing My Life: The Autobiography
Author: Sir Alex Ferguson
The Boss’s first autobiography was published in 2000 and chronicled his life up-till that famous treble winning year of 1999. The book opens up with Ferguson describing that famous year which saw him winning the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League as well as getting honoured with a knighthood by the Queen.
Ferguson reveals the details about his life – his upbringing in Govan(now a part of Glasgow), Scotland, his shipbuilding background( something he credited for his approach as a manager) as well as his time as a player and his transition to the managerial side. Ferguson also revealed the secret for his success – family support and an absolute passion for winning.
The Mail on Sunday in their review stated ‘Ferguson emerges from this account as a genuine national hero, one of the great Scots of the 20th century.’
