Back from the Brink

Posted by Notcot on Jul 27, 2012 in Cult Film
Back from the Brink

Paul McGrath is Ireland’s best loved sportsman and also its least understood. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 1990 and 1994. But behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous. That story has until now never been told. It is a story that runs from a hard hidden childhood spent in Dublin’s orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football. Quite apart from his all too public struggle with alcoholism the story runs through the surreal highs and calamitous lows of a life lived habitually on the edge of chaos. It is not just a football story. It is an extraordinary human story that is certain to surprise with its candour.Here for the first time read about the father he never met; the mother whose love never died; the routine loneliness and ritual bullying endured by a black kid growing up behind closed doors in 1960s Dublin; the emotional breakdown suffered on leaving that institution; the recovery that – remarkably – brought him all the way to Old Trafford; the rollercoaster ride that followed. Here the guilt fear self-loathing are all laid bare in a story fired with hope and determination for the future. It may well be the most candid sports book ever written.

A Season on the Brink

Posted by Notcot on Nov 11, 2010 in Gadgets
A Season on the Brink

When Rafael Benitez was appointed manager of under-achieving Liverpool at the start of the 2004-2005 season the reaction of many fans was ‘Who the **** is Rafael Benitez?’. The Liverpool fans had grown used to French manager Gerard Houllier but he had been a fan of the club himself since his days as a teacher on Merseyside. A Spaniard with admittedly a wonderful record at Valencia was going to take over management of Liverpool’s famous Boot Room and try and win over a disillusioned Kop. But in one season Benitez’s importation of Spanish players coaching methods and diet has led to a revolution even usurping Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea whereby the team has ended the season winning the ultimate trophy for any European club – the European Champions League. No fan will ever forget the comeback from a 3-0 deficit to a 3-3 scoreline then dramatic success in the penalty shoot-out. With the co-operation of Benitez himself highly regarded Spanish soccer pundit Guillem Balague explains how he did it.
