What They're Saying
Critics Review
Brilliant – Oliver Holt * Daily Mirror *
Devastating. No ghosted autobiography can match the nuanced insight of the latest book on Bobby Moore, a hero flawed by alcohol – Ian Herbert * Independent *
Well-researched and written, this book brings us the real Bobby Moore – Matthew Syed * The Times *
A tragic tale, admirably researched and poignantly told – Nick Pitt * Sunday Times *
It’s an immaculately researched voyage of discovery into a footballing enigma. We’ll never know the man in full, but this comes close – Ben East * Metro *
We know this story, but it’s still a page-turner – Marcus Berkmann * Daily Mail *
The strength of the book lies in the way Dickinson has been able to go beyond football and find Moore’s real character… Dickinson’s achievement has been to honour the memory of Moore while also allowing us to understand that he was far from perfect – Mark Segal * When Saturday Comes *
Absorbing * Spectator *
This should be essential, sobering reading for anyone who cares about West Ham, England or English football – Julian Shea * Metro *
Bobby Moore will rightly be forever remembered as the champion of his era, the most serenely masterful footballer ever to have hailed from these shores; “The Man in Full”, not shying away from human fallacies, serves as a reminder that he was the same as every one of us – Jack Gaughan * Mail Online *
