The fully updated autobiography of football's bling king Jimmy
Floyd Hasselbaink - the outspoken Dutch goalscorer extraordinaire,
and former Leeds, Chelsea and Middlesbrough striker, now playing
for Charlton. A predator in front of goal, Jerrell, as his mother
calls him, had made his name in Portugal with Boavista, before
George Graham snapped him up for Leeds in summer 1997. His
goalscoring made him an instant hero at Elland Road, a status he
lost when he asked to leave the club because they wouldn't pay him
enough. In his book, Hasselbaink is forthright about his time at
Leeds, and how he felt betrayed by the club and its fans, despite
the fact that he was their leading scorer for two seasons. After a
GBP12 million transfer to Atletico Madrid, and despite playing in a
relegated side in La Liga, he finished up as the top scorer, and
was snapped up by Chelsea as soon as the 1999/2000 season had
finished. He immediately proved his worth by winning the
Premiership's golden boot award for the 2000/01 season. In the
summer of 2004, a new coach at Chelsea in the form of Jose Mourinho
meant that Hasselbaink's days at the club were numbered, and a
transfer to Middlesbrough opened up a new chapter in his life. In
his final season with the club, he reached the final of the UEFA
Cup and the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Hasselbaink talks candidly
about his fellow professionals in the game: the likes of David
O'Leary, Claudio Ranieri, Gianfranco Zola, Roman Abramovich and
Steve McClaren, plus his troubled times with the Dutch national
team. He is also open about the crimes of his youth, his taste for
gambling and the clubbing scene, and his private life, including
his parents' divorce and his daughter in Amsterdam.
