Sir Alex Ferguson Book Cover And Date Revealed

The cover of Sir Alex Ferguson's autobiography is revealed for the first time today as plans for the book's 24 October release gather momentum.

 

London-based photographer Sean Pollock, a portrait specialist, captured the image of British football's most successful manager at a special session earlier this summer. Sir Alex's notes and reflections on his extraordinary career were, of course, collated over a longer period; in fact, the former Manchester United boss penned his memoirs during the final four years of his epic and glorious reign at Old Trafford.

The eagerly-awaited book will be officially launched by publishers Hodder & Stoughton at a press conference in London on 23 October, on the eve of its publish date. A series of "in conversation with" events open to the public will then take place, as follows:
