Back from the Brink: The Autobiography

Paul McGrath is Ireland’s best loved sportsman and also its least understood. An iconic football presence during a professional career stretching over 14 years, he played for his country in the European Championship finals of 1988 and the World Cup finals of 1990 and 1994. But, behind the implied glamour of life in the employ of great English clubs like Manchester United and Aston Villa, McGrath wrestled with a range of destructive emotions that made his success in the game little short of miraculous. It is not just a football story. It is an extraordinary human story that is certain to surprise with its candour. It may well be the most candid sports book ever written.

The book provides clear and practical guidance on the complex issues that arise in commercial fraud claims. By bringing together all current sources of legal thinking the author presents a coherent and readily accessible guide for the busy practitioner.  Setting the scene with a discussion of the types of relationships which give rise to liability, including fiduciary relationships, the author then examines the liability of those who receive the proceeds of fraud. He considers the meaning of 'knowing receipt' and the nature of claims for unjust enrichment and constructive trusts.  The work examines the availability of proprietary relief in the context of commercial fraud and assesses how best to apply the rules on tracing through modern means of money transfer such as BACS and CHAPS. McGrath concludes with a discussion of tracing, conflict of laws and procedure.

Back From the Brink: The Autobiography

This autobiography of the footballer Paul McGrath chronicles his upbringing in Ireland in foster homes and orphanages, his early playing career with Pease Rovers, Dalkey United and St Patrick's Athletic, and his journey across the Irish Sea to Manchester United. The bright lights of Manchester caused their own problems - and thus began a battle with the bottle that has plagued his life. His soccer success at Old Trafford was mixed with trouble too - in the shape of knee injuries and public disagreements with manager Alec Ferguson. The book goes on to cover his playing career as an Ireland international and his move to Aston Villa, where he was voted the PFA's Player of the Year.
