Ebook: The good, the mad and the ugly: the Andy Morrison story

"The remarkable autobiography of the most troubled footballer of modern times. Andy Morrison was a cult hero with the fans of every club he ever played for and the inspirational skipper of Plymouth Argyle, Blackpool, Huddersfield Town and Manchester City. However, away from football it was a different story. His life has been scarred by violence, alcoholism, trouble with the law and personal tragedy. This is a remarkably frank and honest book, a moving description of one man's demons and how he has been fighting them relentlessly for the best part of three decades. He does not hide his problems with drink, the fights with teammates and managers, the bar brawls, the pursuit of fans who abused him, the Crown Court trial that could have seen him jailed for four years, the conviction for benefit fraud or the traumatic events that wreaked havoc on his family. Morrison believes that many of his problems can be traced to a horrific incident in his youth, one that he has never spoken about. Until now. This is remarkable account of a man in crisis and of his refusal to give in to the dark side of his psyche. --Publisher description.
