Von der hinteren Coverseite

As Alan Hansen knows only too well, football is a game of opinions. During his long, distinguished career as a player he faced intense criticism from the media which undermined his confidence and often threatened to overwhelm him. But now the boot is on the other foot. Uniquely placed to offer an informed opinion of the players, managers and teams who dominate the game today, Hansen has become one of football s most outspoken and popular pundits - a man respected by both professionals and public alike. Now, in his revealing autobiography, Alan Hansen looks back on the triumphs and the tragedies that marked his incredible career. As we follow his story - from his modest beginnings at Partick Thistle, to his years of glory at Anfield as captain of the phenomenally successful Liverpool team - we learn of the legends who inspired him, the pressures and fears he endured, and the stories behind many memorable matches. Here, too, Hansen focuses on the dark days of Heysel and Hillsborough, reflecting on the impact these tragic incidents had on his life and on the future of the game. A Matter of Opinion offers a unique insight into the world of football, past and present, and into the life of one of the most respected British footballers of all time. Frank and forthright, it is as uncompromising as the man himself.
