Both Sides is Nicklas Bendtner's shockingly honest memoir of both the bright and dark sides of his personality and the football industry and what really happens when you give a troubled, overconfident teen millions to spend. It's about growing up in a working class neighbourhood and never denying your roots while living a dramatically changed life. It's about fighting to reach the top in the worlds' toughest league but having no respect for hierarchy. It's about friendship, rivalry, loneliness, failing father figures and the constant quest for an adrenaline kick

One Word: Legend
Exemplary human being. Drogba's way of beliving in himself 100%, his rise into leadership and path to become the ultimate big game player for Chelsea FC, along with his humanitarian efforts in Ivory Coast and Africa makes him my favorite role model. I'm a passionate football fan and Chelsea supporter which made the detailed descriptions of a few plays and the way he illustrates his emotions, much more enjoyable. Loved the tenacity he has demonstrated throught his life. Recommended for anyone seeking a story about a fully potent mentor and even more towards football fans.

Everything you'd expect Drogba to be
What moved me most is Drogba's commitment to CSR and involvement in his charity, especially when he says that he hopes to build a school in the future because when people are more educated, they won't have to start war because they can talk matters out and they won't be used by politicians to cause chaos since they can reason on their own.

The story of Didier Drogba is fantastic
The story of Didier Drogba is fantastic as i knew before i read the book since i have been following Chelsea since i was young. Its an underdog story at first who then rises to be the best african footballer ever. What i think would have made it better is the way the chapters are written he dedicates the first 3/4 of the book to his football storys then goes back in time for the last few chapters to write about his family, friends and charity work through the years i think if he would have worked it all in to a chronological story it would have been a bit more whole
