FourFourTwo Review of Mullery: the Autobiography
Alan Mullery with Tony Norman, Headline, £18.99
".... His autobiography reveals the "bouncebackability" factor that enabled him to overcome not only the numerous lows in his career, but to retain a high-profile media career as a Sky Sports pundit. Unlike many of his contemporaries, his excellent memory for the smallest detail enables his book to rise above the mundane.
"....After initial success on the south coast, Mullery's managerial career fell into rapid decline, as he was forced to endure the machinations of QPR's tyrannical chairman Jim Gregory, grim times at Charlton's decaying Valley and the fact that Palace fans refused to accept him as Terry Venables's replacement.
At times, Mullery glosses over his shortcomings and shifts the blame to others, but he is commendably honest when he confesses that in the midst of financial strife during the mid-'80s, he seriously contemplated suicide.
A lively, pacy read. It's a shame that more ex-footballers' memoirs aren't like this.
