A frank, sincere and straightforward autobiography of a German footballer detailing his career, both prior to and after the fall of the Berlin wall, his subsequent moves to England and Norway and his early career in football management. Notable incidents were the early career development under the East German regime (leaving home at age 12 to attend a school of excellence), run-ins with the Stasi (the East German secret police) and his battle with cancer. It’s a quick and easy read that provides plenty of insight into the man and how and why his career took the turns it did. A good footballer’s autobiography with probably only real interest to those who follow the team’s Rosler played for or managed in his career to date. ( )
