From Word of Sport:
Like his former strike partner, Tony Cascarino, Niall Quinn has written a superb autobiography, fascinating throughout and with a lively intelligence. Some may turn to it for his take on the Keane affair but it has more to recommend it than that episode - the author's benders, his fall-out with Man City and much else.
From the Publisher:
When Niall Quinn learned he was going to the 2002 World Cup with Ireland, it seemed the perfect climax to his international career. Yet even as his much-publicised testimonial was taking place, which was to provide GBP1million to charities in Sunderland and Ireland, the storm clouds were gathering: Roy Keane did not turn up and people wondered why. Suddenly, Quinn was caught up in the most emotionally draining events of his career, as Ireland's World Cup campaign was rocked by Roy Keane's antics. As the story twisted and turned, Quinn looked back on his life and career and saw echoes of his current situation. He recalls the all-night drinking sessions with Tony Adams and Paul Merson, the gambling, the good times and the bad. It is a remarkable story, brilliantly told.

It's A Fact!
"There have only been three Cockers who have topped the UK singles chart. Jarvis and Joe from Sheffield, obviously, and Leeds United's erstwhile trainer, Les, with the 1970 World Cup song Back Home."
