I am a Liverpool FC fan, but I wasn't expecting to enjoy this. I expected some tedious drivel about growing up as a boy, kicking a ball around the streets of Madrid, going to Barca as a schoolboy and so on. Whilst there was some of that, it turned out to be well written and in the end I really warmed to Pepe Reina.
I admit that the prospect of some dirt being dished about Liverpool's notorious owners, Hicks and Gillet or the hapless manager Roy Hodgson, was my motivation for reading but it's too ...more

Pepe was very candid in the book and talked about his whole career and some parts of his personal life as well. The difference he said between Spanish and English football was quite interesting. Most of all though, I find his words about Liverpool fans very moving. Recommended for Liverpool fans.

A must read for all Liverpool fans.
Brilliant, an honest insight into a genuinely nice family man. This book only strengthens his position as a Liverpool legend. A captivating read for LFC fans, even though it only covers up to the mid-point of Dalglish's return , therefore not taking in the Carling Cup win over Cardiff, or FA Cup defeat to Chelsea. Still very much worth a read.
A bit muddled at times but a great read and a great insight into a keeper that even I, as a Liverpool fan, didn't know a lot about.
A lot of fun! If I thought I couldn't love Pepe any more before reading this, I was wrong.
