Jaap Stam Summary

Jaap Stam: Head-to-head by Jaap Stam

Now recognized as one of the best central defenders in the world, Jaap Stam was a huge influence in Manchester United's 1998/99 treble winning season and continues to earn the plaudits for his performances at both club level and for Holland. In this his first book, Stam reveals what it is like to play for the biggest and most famous football club in the world, sharing the limelight with the likes of Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Roy Keane. On boss Alex Ferguson, he explores the myth behind the man and his methods, and talks about training and match preparation, dressing room secrets at the time of their Treble success, and the transfer saga involving his former PSV team-mate Ruud Van Nistelrooy. There is also the hitherto untold story of the problems he encountered when first settling in at Old Trafford, how he almost missed out on his dream move, and the way he was written off at the time as a waste of money by the press.
