Ronnie Whelan was a mainstay of the iconic 1980s Liverpool FC side that won six
League Championships, two FA Cups, three League Cups, as well as an unforgettable
European Cup. Under the management of Kenny Dalglish, Whelan and his club team
mates, including Alan Hansen, John Barnes, and Bruce Grobbelaar, formed one of the
finest club sides in English football history -- a side that is dear to the hearts of
Liverpool fans to this day.
It was also, though, a time of great tragedy; when the twin disasters of Heysel and
Hillsborough devastated the club and its supporters.
In this frank and full-hearted autobiography, Ronnie Whelan tells the story of the
good and the bad times at the club, as well as his international career with Ireland.
