From Word of Sport:
Friedel has been an excellent performer in the Premier League for a number of years and is firmly established as one of its top goalkeepers. He's intelligent and articulate - qualities that are not always quite so prevalent among his contemporaries - and that's nicely demonstrated in this interesting insider account of life in the Premier League.
From the Publisher:
When Brad Friedel got his dream move to Liverpool in 1997, he was surprised by how basic the training facilities were and quickly realised how far they had to go if they were ever to regain their place at the top of the league. But it wasn't until he moved to Blackburn in 2000 that he really established himself in British football, becoming one of the Premier League's more enduring imports. But this book is about so much more than Friedel's own story: it is an insight into football, and sport in general, at the very top level.
Friedel, a student at UCLA, is a brilliant guide to the ins and outs of football. He reveals the moment when he could tell that Graeme Souness seemed to lost the support of the changing room after many good years at the club; he unveils the characters of those he has played with and against over the years, and explains what it takes to succeed in one of the most competitive environments in sport.

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
