The Green Line by Alan Green
Alan Green has established himself as the Voice of Football thanks to his entertaining and controversial commentaries. Where others say 'the lad'll be a little disappointed', he will say 'that was just awful'. In The Green Line he reveals the truth about his stormy relationship with Alex Ferguson, and provides fascinating portraits of his fellow commentators, as well as recounting many wonderful stories of the difficulties he and his colleagues face in trying to do their job. He provides trenchant comment on the key issues of the day, such as the influx of foreigners into the game, the standard of refereeing and much else besides. The Green Line is a brilliant account of life as a commentator and of the modern game.
Alan Green began working for the BBC in 1975, originally in news before moving to sport in 1979. In 1982 he gave his first radio commentary and in 1990 became the senior football commentator, a role he has held ever since.
