LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE
'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 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.
