| book description |

Manchester United legend Paul Parker is as committed to voicing his opinion as he was to winning the ball. In this warts-and-all autobiography, there are absolutely no punches pulled. From a tough upbringing where racist abuse was commonplace, to life as an elite footballer playing in the world’s top competitions, one of the greatest defenders of his generation at last tells his story. In this unflinchingly honest and self-effacing insider account, Parker: Lifts the lid on one of the most fascinating eras in Old Trafford history, when a sleeping giant of world football returned to prominence Speaks with startling candour as he reveals stories from behind the scenes – in a dressing room peopled by Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Bryan Robson and Peter Schmeichel, there was no room for shrinking violets! Shares his memories of playing at the unforgettable Italia 90 World Cup as a key contributor to one of England’s greatest campaigns Describes what it was like as a senior professional who was forced to make way for the emerging class of ’92 Explores the evolution of the game and shares his views on the state of modern football Told with a unique storytelling voice, Tackling the Game is perfect for all Manchester United supporters and England fans, plus anyone interested in ’90s football.
