Fergie Rises by Michael Grant

Fergie Rises by Michael Grant

Fergie Risesreturns to a time when legendary manager Alex Ferguson was lucky to get Aberdeen, not the other way around. It's the story of an eight-year revolution that saw the Dons and their ambitious young manager knock the Old Firm off their perch, taste victory in Europe for the first time, and electrify Scottish football.

‘It might be a familiar story – of course it is – but this book brings it alive with fresh interviews, rich in detail and anecdote It is a brilliant read. A must for all Dandies'

-- Graham Spiers * The Times *

'The finest Fergie book of them all. It takes you to the heart of the magnificent absurdity of Aberdeen being kings of Europe'

-- Tom English * BBC Sport *

'The glut of books on Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United Revolution is exactly why this one is so interesting. A neat idea by an author whose account is superbly written'

* The Scotsman 'Best Scottish sports reads' *

'This is a book that takes the evidence from a series of witnesses to burgeoning genius. The testimonies are stunning, insightful, sometimes bitter, mostly awed and regularly funny'

* The Herald *

'Having interviewed many of those under Fergie’s Pittodrie stewardship, he brings much fresh insight into a period covered too briefly in his autobiography'

* FourFourTwo *

'The most fascinating part of Alex Ferguson’s career is his eight years taking Aberdeen from no-hopers to beating Real Madrid in a European Final. All the greatest stories have a beginning and this is it'

* Shortlist *

'An excellent new tome'

-- Stephen McGowan * Scottish Daily Mail *

'A masterful re-telling of how Ferguson was "made" at Aberdeen'

-- Alan Pattullo * The Scotsman *

'It is Grant's own passion that permeates and defines Fergie Rises and makes it the book that all of us would have loved to have written'

-- David Innes * Aberdeen Voice *

'Grant has painted a vivid tableau of a bygone age on a giant-sized canvas'

-- Neil Drysdale * STV Aberdeen *

'Such a fantastic book. A great story in itself as well as brilliant insight into Sir Alex and his then still evolving management style. Highly recommended'
