Red: My Autobiography - Tapa dura

Acerca del autor

Gary Neville was born on 18 February 1975 and became one of the most decorated footballers in the history of the English game with his one and only club, Manchester United. He was captain of the United team that won the FA Youth Cup in 1992 and after making his first-team debut that autumn, went on to make 602 appearances for the club. He won the Premier League eight times (skippering the Red Devils to their triumphs in 2007, 2008 and 2009), the FA Cup three times, the League Cup twice and the Champions League in 1999 to complete a remarkable set of medals. He also won 85 caps for England - a record for a right-back - and appeared in two World Cups and three European Championships for his country.

De la solapa interior

'Gary Neville is a Red...' The chant rang round Old Trafford for the best part of two decades, and if any player can be said to epitomize Manchester United, it is Gary Neville. A fan of United since he was a boy, who made the grade through sheer determination and hard work and won the honour of captaining the side. A fighter, proud of his roots, with a never-say-die attitude that helped make United the top team in the land. The best right-back of his generation, for both club and country.

He also riled his fair share of people, of course, and in Red: My Autobiography, Gary Neville pulls no punches in his account of life with Manchester United and England. Since growing up at the club with the likes of Beckham, Giggs and Scholes, plus his own brother Phil, Gary has always had a view on how the game should be played - about loyalty, football agents, the FA. And in typically forthright style, he has plenty of tales about the cast of characters that forged United's phenomenal and continued success: Keane, Cantona, Rooney, Ronaldo, and of course Sir Alex Ferguson.

Red is a unique account of a career at the very top of the game. For twenty years, Gary Neville has worn his heart on his sleeve. This is his story.
