Roy Keane was the most controversial footballer of his generation. And the most influential. He captained Manchester United during an era in which they dominated English football. He made friends. He made enemies. He walked out of a World Cup and divided a nation. And his beloved Labrador Retriever Triggs was at his side through it all. Their walks became the stuff of 24-hour, rolling news legend. Now, in the most eagerly awaited football memoir of the decade, Triggs finally reveals the part she played in the extraordinary drama of her master's life.

Media Reviews
'As fascinating as it is funny and moving ... If you love football you have to read this, obviously, book' * Irish Times *
'To read an account of Man Utd and Ireland's greatest player of the past 20 years from the perspective of his trusty canine companion is certainly a surprise, but still a delightful one, with Howard's well-honed comedic talents providing laughs aplenty.' * Hot Press *
'This is no ordinary book. Just a strange, unusual and thoroughly enchanting one which will leave the reader baffled and bemused but thoroughly entranced. (...) an absolute, if complicated, joy to behold' * Irish Independent *
'Will have you in stitches' * Connacht Sentinel *
'Hilariously frank' * Four Four Two *
'A modern classic' * The Irish Post *

A well-known figure in the Hale and Altringham areas, Triggs came to international attention in the summer of 2002, when she accompanied Roy Keane on his famous walks around Greater Manchester after he ws sent home from the World Cup by Ireland manager Mick McCarthy. Despite offers of book deals involving seven-figure advances, Triggs has always kept her silence about her life with Manchester United's greatest ever captain ... until now.
