Martin Greig's revealing book is a chronicle of rejections surmounted
The Guardian
A fine piece of work
Sunday Herald
[A] well-written and refreshingly detached biography, which shines a light on the enigma without shattering it. We catch glimpses of Nakamura that tantalise, intrigue, and sustain interest
Scotland on Sunday
A thoughtful and sensitive book about a thoughtful and sensitive man . . . many of the quotes in the book are utterly fascinating [and] make for entertaining and thought-provoking reading.
Harry Reid, football writer
Meticulously researched . . . tightly-written and thoroughly entertaining
Irish News
A cut above most football books . . . the Nakamura that emerges from the book is to be admired for his humility, generosity and work ethic
Sports Books of the Year, The Scotsman
Greig has drawn a portrait of the playmaker rather than simply taking a photograph . . . a fascinating image of his subject emerges
The Herald
Refreshingly unsychophantic . . . Greig eschews the usual fawning in favour of an attempt to get to grips with an elusive subject who has experienced genuine ups-and-downs
