Joe Royle became the youngest player to play for Everton in February 1966
when he replaced Alex Young, the Golden Vision, under controversial
circumstances for a league game in Blackpool. Royle went on to win
six England caps under Alf Ramsey and Don Revie. Injury forced a
premature end to his career at 32, after spells with Manchester City,
Bristol City, and Norwich. Then he became the manager who fell off
the back of a lorry when joining Oldham in 1982. Fourteen fantastic,
fairytale years followed at the hard-up, homespun Lancashire club which
Royle put on the soccer map. Oldham achieved the impossible by going
to Wembley and spending three years in the Premiership. Then, it was
off back to Everton � his real love, to Manchester City, and to Ipswich as
manager. With a foreword by Sir Alex Ferguson, this book is an
honest account of Joe's career and life, written with his full
cooperation. [Err... if it's his autobiography, that means he
wrote it!!!!]
