'Excellent and compellingly honest' Alyson Rudd, The Times In I
Love This Game, the long-awaited autobiography of Patrice Evra, the
former Manchester United and France star looks back on a remarkable
life and career. Having played alongside some of the club's
greatest legends, such as Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne
Rooney and Paul Scholes, in one of United's most successful eras,
Evra has now found a new role as an in-demand pundit and social
media star. But, as he reveals in this frank, often shocking, but
always compelling memoir, beneath the surface things were not so
simple, and he had to fight all the way to get to the top.
Initially, it was football that saved him from being sucked into
the gang culture of his tough neighbourhood of Les Ulis in the
suburbs of Paris. Then, once he achieved his dream of becoming a
professional, he had to deal with racism and a notorious dispute
with Luis Suarez; he also became a central figure in the infamous
'strike' by the France national team in the 2010 World Cup; and
there was the moment he launched an attack against a Marseille fan
while warming up. 'I Love This Game' has become Evra's catchphrase.
Throughout this wonderful book, his passion for his sport shines
through and there are revealing and entertaining behind-the-scenes
insights about the players and managers he's worked with, from Sir
Alex Ferguson to Paul Pogba, who knows him as Uncle Pat. With
infectious enthusiasm and sharp observation, Evra takes the reader
where few football autobiographies dare to tread.
