Savage!

Product Description

Robbie Savage could have been just another Manchester United reject. Instead he used the Old Trafford scrapheap as a springboard to become one of the most instantly recognisable footballers in the Premier League despite being told by Sir Alex Ferguson he was not good enough to stay in the class of 92 alongside David Beckham Paul Scholes Ryan Giggs Nicky Butt & Gary Neville. For the last 17 years Savage has carved out a reputation as a hard man & wind-up merchant with an unerring ability to grab a headline. From deliberately getting Tottenhams Justin Edinburgh sent off in a Wembley cup final to the Jobbiegate row with referee Graham Poll & the bust-ups with John Toshack Rio Ferdinand Graeme Souness & Paul Jewell the list is endless. Yet numerous footballing legends will testify to the skill of the midfielder who has starred for Crewe Leicester Birmingham Blackburn & Derby & won 39 international caps for Wales. Behind the long blond hair the Armani tattoo & the flamboyant cars Savage has always been the heartbeat of his team. Savage!" provides a unique insight into the extraordinary life of an elite sportsman a colourful character & loving family man. Love him or loathe him Robbie Savages story is a remarkable one."
