Andy's story will enthral and excite the entire country.

I am Andy's Murray's number one fan, well throughout his career I have watched everyone of his matches, watched him at Wimbledon, watched him play Davis Cup, watched him with the end of year championships, become number one, win the Olympics gold medal, met him times.

Just now, today watch him play and reach the final of the Doha tournament, for a fifth final, saving five match points against one of the new up and coming players Jiri Lahecka, who had just beat the number one see Andre Rublev in the quarter final.

So a great book, explains some of his decisions when he was younger, his frustration with injuries in his earlier career, frustrations with press, comments in the British press especially.

But his story, autobiography stopped fourteen years ago makes this story a little dated, but understand so much about decisions.

Plus one pet hate, also uses a ghost writer.

Five chapters by Tim Henman, Jamie Murray, Mark Petchey, Judy Murray, so not just his book.

So four stars. So difficult to review fairly this book.
