He tells some good stories and gives perspective when covering Wycombe, Leicester and Sunderland but he doesn't go below the surface with Celtic and Ireland which is a shame. As a manager he took Leicester City to two League Cups, Celtic to seven trophies, and Republic of Ireland to the 2016 European Championship. Throughout the long, dark Antarctic winter, Shackleton fights for his life and the lives of his men - enduring freezing temperatures, a perilous lifeboat journey through the ice-strewn sea, and a punishing march across the South Georgia glaciers to seek the one slim chance they have of rescue. He has split his story in half with the first half covering his playing days and the second his managerial experiences.

The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

The book starts well, with a good mix of personal and football, but as it goes on seems to become almost a list of football matches, with the personal side almost completely disappearing. The stories are fantastic -- John Motson, legendary football commentator --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Martin O’Neill has delivered a sublime and superb book that is honest, insightful, funny and detailed. Few players who go on into management can have experienced such a variety of triumphant experiences.The vast majority of these women do so, against a backdrop of raising families, holding down 'proper' jobs and generally swimming against the tide of what is expected from them. He also made Aston Villa punch above their weight and made them regular challengers for a top 6 spot despite a lack of significant investment in the playing squad.

It covered his early years as a Roman Catholic growing up in Northern Ireland and following his dream of becoming a professional footballer in England. From Shackleton's pursuit of adventure as a young merchant seaman, through his rivalry with Captain Scott, to the two remarkable expeditions to Antarctica that revealed his unrivalled leadership and courage, Fiennes brings the story vividly to life in a book that is part celebration, part vindication and all adventure. One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish.This is a tidy little book, it charts the progress of a man who I am sure will be fondly remembered as a football genius by my generation. From his upbringing in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and thoughts of being a lawyer, to being spotted by Nottingham Forest and moving to England. But is does make you wonder if he could have achieved even more greatness if he had kept his temper in check. Written with his trademark forthright honesty and humour, On Days Like These is a must-read for any fan of the beautiful game. Interesting facts about his footballing life and various influences especially Brian Clough - who he didn’t seem to get on with.
