Rowdies Memorabilia - Mark Lawrenson Autobiography

"The Autobiography" - Of Mark Lawrenson, the former defender/midfielder.

As a commentator and pundit, Mark Lawrenson has earned a reputation as one of the best in the business. But, like his Match of the Day colleagues, his appearances on TV follow a hugely successful career as a player for club and country. 

And it was alongside Alan Hansen at Liverpool that Lawrenson formed what was widely 

considered the most outstanding defensive partnership in the game as part of an Anfield team 

that was enjoying a golden period in an already illustrious history. 

After beginning his career under Bobby Charlton at his home club of Preston North End, 

Lawro moved to Brighton, but, signed by the legendary Bob Paisley 

for a club record transfer fee, it was the seven year spell with Liverpool 

that followed that sealed his reputation. During his time at Anfield, Liverpool were 

League Champions three years in a row. 

They won the League Cup three times, the European Cup in 1984 and, in 1986, 

the League and FA Cup Double. While Liverpool collected silverware, 

Lawro also won thirty-nine caps for the Republic of Ireland.

When his career as a player was cut short by injury, a brief period in 

management exposed him to the extraordinary excesses of Robert Maxwell, 

before he established himself as one of the key members of the BBC first team. 

In his autobiography, Mark Lawrenson tells his story for the first time. 

Marked by his trademark candour, insight and wit, the book is an 

entertaining, revealing tale of a life in football.
