In 1972,just after two years playing a starring role in Manchester City's most successful team,Neil Young left his boyhood favourites for the final time.And,as the club began their now familiar relationship with underachievement and mismanagement,Neil drifted into relative obscurity,finally hanging up his boots just four years later.In 'Catch a Falling Star',Neil Young explains what he has been up to in the years since his sizzling shots stung the hands of the country's finest goalkeepers.Following his premature retirement from football,Neil's life has taken in tragedy in almost equal proportion to the glory he experienced as a player.Here,for the first time,he candidly discusses the depths to which he sank in the intervening years.Told with Neil's famed wit and laconic humour,'Catch a Falling Star' reveals how a star on the wane managed to mount a personal comeback as impressive as any achieved on the pitch by City's star-studded squad of the late 60's.Dante Friend,a regular contributor to,among others,the Official Manchester City Magazine,this is Dante's second book about his beloved Blues; the first,'My Blue Heaven',was published earlier this year (then 2004).
