"A brilliant read for Arsenal fans in particular, but also football fans in general. It takes so much to make a career, and we see the good and bad of football as Danny's journey takes him from the USA to North London, and then takes him on a path he never expected. Great stuff."
-Andrew Mangan, Arseblog

"...this was one of the best soccer books I have read in a while, and certainly one of the best autobiographies, and should be added to any soccer fans’ reading list."

It was like a dream. One of those dreams where everything is going right and you can’t believe how or why everything is falling into place, but it is, and for that little bit of time you couldn’t care less about anything else in the world.
