'...both a fascinating personal story and an evocation of a sporting world that has gone forever.' W Magazine There is a heartfelt, elegiac quality [to] THE WAY IT WAS ... It is only a pity he is not here to see it published -- Chris Maume, Independent 'A first summary of the life, on and off the pitch of England's greatest player' Express The book is an appropriate and nearly always engrossing chronicle of an illustrious career, and good to have -- Ian Hamilton, Sunday Telegraph 'his engrossing autobiography' Times 'impossible to imagine any of today's football stars ever producing a memoir half so interesting' Mail on Sunday Especially rewarding, though, are Stan's descriptions of his technical perfectionism -- Brian Glanville, Sunday Times A fascinating and amusing insight into the inner workings of football during its golden era -- Saul David, Daily Telegraph THE WAY IT WAS is a ticket to a different era, when the game wasn't saturated with money and men like Sir Stanley upheld sporting ideals -- Mike Pattenden, Times Brings vividly to life some of the greatest games of the time and features his perceptive analysis of the characters who illuminated the age -- Independent The story of one of the greatest footballers of all time ... is told in great detail and with an unexpected sense of humour. It is his vivid memory that makes THE WAY IT WAS such a good read -- FourFourTwo A gracefully crafted autobiography filled with entertaining anecdotes reflecting an age when the game was uncorrupted by greed and hooliganism -- Birmingham Post
