Az álom
„Ebből a könyvből kiderül, hogyan vált hétszer is valóra az álmom. De azt is elmesélem, hányszor bizonyult elérhetetlennek számomra. A futball sok mindenben hasonlít az élet más területeihez: az ember a legtöbbször nem győz. Remélem, elég szerény vagyok ahhoz, hogy megértsem, időnként a vereségből lehet a legtöbbet tanulni. Amikor viszont az ember mindenkit legyőz, az az érzés semmihez sem hasonlítható.” Carlo Ancelotti mind az öt európai topligában nyert bajnoki címet, olyan csapatoknál dolgozott, mint az AC Milan, a Juventus, a Paris Saint-Germain, a Bayern München, a Chelsea és a Real Madrid. De nemcsak ez teszi őt különlegessé kortársai között, hanem az is, hogy minden rekordot megdöntött a Bajnokok Ligájában: hétszer emelhette a magasba a trófeát, kétszer játékosként, ötször pedig edzőként. Az álom című kötetből kiderül, miért rajong annyira Carlo a világ legértékesebb klubtrófeájáért, és az is, mi kell ahhoz, hogy valaki ennyire sikeres legyen a nemzetközi porondon. Gyermekkori álmáról, a nagy meccsekről, klasszis játékosokról és az egyes szezonok kulcspillanatairól egyaránt mesél az olasz mester, aki betekintést enged a napi munkába, és belülről mutatja meg nekünk a Bajnokok Ligája csodáját.

BIG DUNC
*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*They don't make footballers - and football autobiographies - like this anymore. The brutally honest, riotously entertaining story of the much-loved Everton legend and iconic Premier League bad boy. 'A hell of a read. I couldn't recommend it more. Powerful' Gary Lineker‘Pure charisma’ The Times'A legend' Carlo Ancelotti‘One of life's good guys. Kind and generous. As you can imagine, I'd much rather him be a teammate than be an opponent. ' Alan Shearer____________________________________________________________________Praised by Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the greatest and most passionate players to ever play the game, Duncan Ferguson, or Big Dunc as he is known, is larger than life in every sense. Measuring a towering 6 feet 4 inches in height, from the moment the striker emerged in British football in the 1990s, he was front and back page news. On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners. Like his rival Roy Keane, he played close to the limit, and often crossed it. Such as the time he was sentenced to 3 months in Glasgow’s toughest prison for headbutting an opponent – the first and only time a footballer has ever gone to jail for a crime committed on a football pitch. In BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography, Duncan reveals, for the first time, the full story: the truth about his experiences in prison, his partying with African princes and Liverpool gangsters, his fighting with burglars, his making and losing a fortune, and how he turned his life around through his beloved Everton F.C.. In the process, the book sheds light on one of football’s most charismatic but notorious and enigmatic hardmen. He is a pillar of the community in Merseyside, giving back to stricken children who share a similar tough upbringing to his own. Duncan's book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of humour, drama and redemption. Buckle up. ____________________________________________________________________________‘Duncan Ferguson is an iconic figure for Evertonians as a great number 9...Big Dunc loves the scousers & the scousers love him!’ Jamie Carragher‘Duncan is possibly the most misunderstood man in football. His football IQ and knowledge of the game is second to none, couple that with the person he is and you’ve got nothing but quality.’ Tony Bellew*A Sunday Times Bestseller, May 2025
