About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Luka Modric by Luka Modric, read by Freddie Gaminara.

THE FIRST AND ONLY AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM REAL MADRID GALÁCTICO AND WORLD CUP SUPERSTAR LUKA MODRIC.

'Enthralling.' – Oliver Holt, Mail on Sunday

‘Awesome’ – Match Magazine

'Solemn, soulful and occasionally romantic’ – Alyson Rudd, The Times

'an illuminating insight into the career of one of the greatest players in the modern game' – Late Tackle

‘On a level with the great midfield players of the last 20 years.’ – Sir Alex Ferguson, CBE

For the first time, Real Madrid galáctico and Croatian legend Luka Modric tells the story of his journey from a childhood in his war-torn homeland to becoming a serial UEFA Champions League winner and one of the most celebrated footballers in the world.

Regarded as one of the great midfield players of the last 20 years, Luka reveals the difficulties of growing up during the Croatian War of Independence and his beginnings as a footballer.

The FIFA World Cup finalist sets the record straight regarding key moments at Dinamo Zagreb, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid; he gives us intimate insights into his treasured home life; and he brings us his personal account of his career peak – Croatia’s dramatic path to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final.

What were his thoughts during decisive matches? What was his relationship with key players and coaches? What is the inner determination that keeps him on the pitch? What does it take to become the best footballer in the world?

Luka was consistently underestimated in his early career, but through grit and determination he has defied the expectations of everyone who doubted him, and reached the ultimate heights of world football.

This is Luka Modric in his own words.

Thoroughly Entertaining

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It was easy to listen to. The narrator was brilliant. He was really engaging.

It was really interesting. The story begins on the world cup stage and then takes you back to where it all began.

As a football fan, I found the stories of his time in England, Spain and particularly Croatia fascinating. Great insight to the life of a footballer.

What I loved about the biography was that it wasn't all just about football. For example, Luka spoke many times about his family. One of my favourite parts of the book is how he met his wonderful wife. It was very funny and endearing.

I was surprised to hear him talk about the impact of the virus. Very interesting!

So all in all. A very satisfying book. Loved every second of it. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Especially football fans, sports fans or those seeking inspiration. It's a truly beautiful story. Thank you Luka Modric.

A great book about a modern great

The book was excellent. It was well written and the narrator was also very good.
Modric went in to depth about his family and personal life, allowing you to see glimmers of him off the pitch.
To take this to 5 stars, i wanted a bit more humour. It was wuite repetitive about croatia, what they could, should and would have done 'if'...
Id recommend the book regardless and this is a must read for any tottenham or madrid fan

Jesus, this is a bad boring biography!

Worst biography i have ever bought. Boring storyline, for instance. Luka fled for the war and had to move, there are no details what so ever about this. There are however, 15 minute rants about the fact that playing for a big crowd energizes every football player, or that every person is different and young players van become great, or not.. and more of these ‘ universal knowledge’ points. There are no direct dialogues, nothing specific and this book basically is a very long and boring resume..

In short, would not recommend!
