Publisher Description
Football fans will love this insight into the life and mind of Big Sam. With nearly 20 years as a player - plus almost 25 years as a coach and manager - under his belt, Sam Allardyce is one of the most recognisable figures in British football.
'Big Sam' has been a robust defensive general throughout the seventies and eighties, and an imposing touchline presence as a gaffer since 1994.
Over the last four decades, Allardyce has seen it all. The game he so loves is radically different to that in which he made his debut back in 1973, and in telling his wonderfully colourful story for the very first time, Allardyce talks intriguingly about the changing face of players and managers. His autobiography positively crackles with characteristic insight, honesty and hard-hitting opinions.
Customer Reviews
Big sam
A very interesting read.
Superb Insight
Comes across completely different to how he is portrayed in the media, surely he will have to do a Part II book to include his short tenure as England boss.
Fantastic
All too often football autobiographies are self indulgent and boring. This book however reflects the author and is both interesting factual amusing and well written.
I recommend this book to everyone even if you don't know that much about football. As most people will know big Sam has now taken up the challenge at Sunderland so the good news is that Sam will continue to entertain us with his own brand of football which in my view is better than all the foreign managers out there.
Sam for England, hopefully that will happen. He deserves it. A true Englishman
