#3 This Is the One: Sir Alex Ferguson: The Uncut Story of a Football Genius

Author: Daniel Taylor

Written by the Guardian’s man in Manchester at that time – Daniel Taylor, This Is the One chronicled Ferguson’s time during the time when his career at Manchester United was at its lowest ebb – the 2005-06 season. With the club coming under new ownership (the Glazers) and Roy Keane leaving United, there were calls for Ferguson’s removal as the team had not won the EPL in 2 years(courtesy the Invincibles of Arsenal and the arrival of Jose Mourinho).

The book chronicled another difficult season which saw the club go through a major transition. The book then covers the 2006-07 season which saw the Scotsman’s side bounce back in style and depose Chelsea at the top. This Is the One showcases bot the mean side of Fergie(Hairdryer) as well as his more humane, softer side as he led his side through the excruciating lows and the exhilarating highs.
