I Love This Game, the autobiography, is a highly anticipated insight into the Senegal born, France raised, international football legend, and a heartfelt account into the trials and tribulations that made Evra the positive and motivational public figure he is today.

From growing up with 24 siblings, to being told he would not be chosen to play for teams because of the stigma attached to his gritty upbringing, to racism.

Evra’s story is a tale of determination and passion in the face of adversity, which displays an inspirational journey on how to win in life, not just football.

The book will be published by publishing company Simon & Schuster and released in hardback on October 28, 2021.

Ian Marshall, Deputy Publishing Director of Simon & Schuster commented: “The book reveals an astonishing story of triumph over the darkest adversity and provides a fascinating insight into Patrice’s life and career.”

Evra said: ‘‘I want this book to inspire the next generation to chase their dreams and their goals, pushing their limits but also to make sacrifices.

“I’ve been really successful in my career, but I think the most important thing is that I have won the biggest prize and that is life and being happy, no matter the circumstance.”

Evra is heralded as one of the greatest footballers of his generation, playing across Europe in Italy, Nice and Monaco before joining Manchester United in January 2006.

Making 379 appearances in almost nine seasons at the club, Evra won14 major honours, including five Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008.

He went on to play for Juventus, Marseille and West Ham United whilst making an impact on the international stage earning 81caps for the French national side – participating in five major tournaments.

During his time at United, Evra quickly became a fan favourite with his lively and charismatic personality.
