A truly remarkable story, uncovered with immense skill by Catrine Clay
Miranda Seymour, Telegraph
An extraordinary story
Mail on Sunday
Britain's best-loved German ... it's a remarkable story
Daily Mail
[A] brilliant new biography
Observer
Utterly compelling
Independent on Sunday
A gripping story
Sunday Times
It's the story of Trautmann the man rather than the footballer that makes Catrine Clay's biography so extraordinary...enthralling and uplifting.
Simon Shaw, Mail on Sunday
It's dramatic. It's moving.
Evening Standard
An extraordinary yet symbolic 20th-century story, brilliantly told.
Sunday Times
Fascinating... brilliant... Clay did something that might have been thought impossible in this book by jumping between broad historical narrative and Trautmann's own story without jarring it.
The Times Book Club
Dramatic and moving.
The Scotsman
Clay applies no cosmetic brush to the past of an athlete once seen as an Aryan idol. His co-operation with this book lends poignancy to his unique passage through the showdowns of a century.
The Independent
Meticulous in its research and measured in tone ... gripping.
