__________
The Boy on the Shed is a story of love and fate. At 16, Paul Ferris becomes Newcastle United''s youngest-ever first-teamer. Like many a tricky winger from Northern Ireland, he is hailed as ''the new George Best''.
As a player and later a physio and member of the Magpies'' managerial team, Paul''s career acquaints him not only with Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish and Bobby Robson, Ruud Gullit, Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer but also with injury, insecurity and disappointment.
Talented and carefree on the pitch, shy and anxious off it, he earns a tilt at stardom. His first spell at Newcastle turns sour, as does his return as a physio, although obtaining a Masters degree shows him what he could achieve away from football.
Written with brutal candour, dark humour and consummate style, The Boy on the Shed is a riveting and moving account of a life less ordinary.
