Summary
'The whistle blows, and I set off for the one kick I know will stay with me for the rest of my life, maybe even define my life....'
Michael Carrick was the heartbeat of Manchester United. For more than a decade he was the player that made them tick. Loved by his managers, lauded by his fellow professionals, worshipped by the Old Trafford faithful yet regularly misunderstood by the wider public, Carrick was a player like no other.
Intelligent, calm, thoughtful - in many ways the opposite of the archetypal English midfielder - Carrick has always been his own man and is typically forthright. In his book he reveals what it's really like to win relentlessly under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, shows us the hidden secrets of the famous Carrington training ground, invites us to experience the camaraderie and clashes inside the United dressing room and lets us feel what it's like to walk out on the Old Trafford pitch alongside some of the biggest names in the game - from Ronaldo to Scholes to Giggs, Rooney and the rest.
A deeply personal book, Between the Lines reveals for the first time Michael's battles with mental health and his struggles with the national side as well as the redemption he has found with his family and his team.
From growing up in the northeast to winning the Champions League and five Premier League titles with Manchester United, via West Ham and Tottenham, Carrick's story reveals him to be his own man: fearless, thoughtful, intelligent and honest.
All of Michael Carrick's proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the Michael Carrick Foundation, dedicated to providing financial support to community services that will give underprivileged children living in the North and North East better opportunities so that they feel safe, valued and inspired.

Good listen
This was a good listen, but nothing groundbreaking. Honest appraisal about England days but does come across as if he's moaning about the life of a footballer

Good insight for United fans
An easy listen for United/sport fans, Carrick gives an insight into his career highs and lows. A top player who's mixed it with the best and his stories brought back fond memories of the last 15 years.
I read a few reviews before purchasing the book and some said the narrator put them off, I didn't mind the Geordie accent and thought Carrick's mate did a good job. 👍🏻

Great listen for a United fan
Really enjoyable listen. The first chapter is read by Michael and is a little boring to be honest, but when Chris takes over it is much more enjoyable. learning about Michael's struggles with depression and his memories of the Champions League, amongst other things, was very interesting.

Incredibly addictive
I’m a lifelong Utd fan . And got this for obvious reasons . But I must say it was an incredibly addictive read. Very very good. His wife sounds like an unbelievably supportive person and his journey is too be respected.

Twenty times, twenty times, Michael Carrick!
As a United fan, football fan and general lover of all sport, I loved this book. An honest and open insight into the life of one of the greatest (and underrated) players to pull on a Manchester United football shirt.
An absolute cracker of a book
