He is honest about his ups and downs and will bring back great memories for all of us who grew up in this era'' - Kevin Moran ''Any book about Liam Brady had better be good - and this one is very, very good. It is insightful, often joyous, and hugely entertaining. I loved it'' - Roddy Doyle ''One of our country's great footballers, and definitely our most beautiful'' - John Giles ''By any measure, an incredible life. And a book that more than does it justice'' - Malachy Clerkin ''A brilliant, engaging read'' - Brendan Crossan

Liam Brady was born in Dublin in 1956 into a footballing family. Having displayed great potential as a young player he was recruited to Arsenal at the age of fifteen, and enjoyed huge success with the club until his move to Juventus in 1980. He continued his career in Italy playing with Sampdoria, Internazionale and Ascoli before returning to London and joining West Ham in 1987. With the Republic of Ireland he won 72 international caps over a 16-year career, and is considered one of the greatest footballers the country has ever produced.
