Fergie Rises

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

Thoughtful and informative' ~Kevin McCarra, The Times

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

‘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

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' ~Sports Book Reviews
