O'Farrell was a great manager for Torquay United. He could have been a great manager for Manchester United but for the events and personalities described in his book. There are no villains in the story. We are all only human, prone to make mistakes, and with the capacity to learn from our errors, however successful we are. But what matters ultimately is, not how great a footballer or manager a man was, but how successful he is or was as a human being. For that accolade, I would willingly put my money on Frank O'Farrell.
