Dunne It the Hard Way

The Remarkable Story of a Millwall Legend

About this book

Born in Dublin but raised in London, Alan Dunne spent nearly a quarter of a century with what became his hometown club of Millwall—and after almost 400 senior games left as a legend. Joining the youth set-up at the age of eight, he rose through the ranks to eventually become a player who epitomized the club, as his wholehearted approach resonated with the fans at the Den. Dunne It the Hard Way is a frank and honest insight into his life with the Lions, from making the worst of first impressions on a manager, to the heartbreak of being told he was no longer wanted in 2015, and plenty of highs and lows in between—including a broken promise ahead of Millwall's only ever appearance in the FA Cup Final. He also explains why his dad told him to leave home to save his career; why he was left to pay a teammate's dental bills; how he was caught posing with a naked model holding a plate of toast; how the penny finally dropped, before it was too late; how he turned around a career which almost hit the skids to become such a firm favorite of the crowd that he was nearly immortalized in statue form; and he tells the story behind each of his record number of red cards!
