My Life in Red and White

A well-paced and well-thought-out account of one of football’s most iconic and influential figures, and entirely befitting of its remarkable author * Sports Gazette *A predictably brilliant insight into the mind of a man who has long treated football as a matter of, as he puts it, “life and death”. His wit, empathy and unwavering principles have been common knowledge for decades, but never has his all-consuming dedication and obsession been on clearer display * Esquire *Opaqueness has never been this refreshing. It’s honestly nice that this book has just been about the game and the human connections he made along the way. The moments that made Wenger, the good times and the achievements. In a world of sensationalism, public spats and calling out old foes, we can all learn something from that * FourFourTwo *As with his approach to on-field matters, this book puts in an impressive performance – Damien O’Meara * RTE *A surprisingly honest self-portrait of an obsessive, driven man, who decided that the game really could be beautiful, and was prepared to sacrifice himself to that belief * TLS *
