It is an extraordinary human story that is certain to surprise with its candour.Here, for the first time, read about the father he never met the mother whose love never died the routine loneliness and ritual bullying endured by a black kid growing up behind closed doors in 1960s Dublin the emotional breakdown suffered on leaving that institution the recovery that - remarkably - brought him all the way to Old Trafford the rollercoaster ride that followed. Quite apart from his all too public struggle with alcoholism, the story runs through the surreal highs and calamitous lows of a life lived habitually on the edge of chaos.It is not just a football story. It is a story that runs from a hard, hidden childhood spent in Dublin's orphanages all the way to the pain of two marriage break-ups and the struggle to cope with life after football. But, behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa, McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous.That story has until now never been told. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years, he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 19. Paul McGrath is Ireland's best loved sportsman and also its least understood.
