As a coach and manager, Lawrence has experienced all of the highs, lows and emotions the game has to offer and has been involved with teams from every division of the English leagues.
He earned a legendary reputation during nine years at Charlton Athletic, helping to steer the club from near bankruptcy to a place among football's elite. He has also played a major role in the fortunes of nine different clubs, notably Charlton Athletic, Middlesbrough, Cardiff City and Bristol Rovers.
He belongs to an elite band of 18 English managers who have clocked up more than 1,000 games as manager. His contemporaries in this hall of fame include Sir Alex Ferguson, Harry Redknapp, Steve Coppell, Brian Clough and Sir Matt Busby. He is currently director of football at Bristol Rovers.
Priced £14.99, the hardbook autobiography is available from both MFC Official stores and online at MFC Official Direct.
