From Word of Sport:
Like his former strike partner, Tony Cascarino, Niall Quinn has written a superb autobiography. Some may turn to it for his take on the Roy Keane affair but it has more to recommend it than this episode - the author's benders, his fall-outwith Man City and much else. Both critically acclaimed and entertaining.
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 1million pound 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.
