Alan McLoughlin's entertaining autobiography 'Different Shade Of Green' was launched in Dublin last night in the Dubray bookstore on Grafton Street.

The book has been nominated for the Irish Sports Book of the Year award (vote here), and in addition to covering Alan's playing and managerial career, explores the complexities involved in being an Irish person growing up in England.

It also contains some brilliantly funny stories about his time in the international setup. Read here.

Alan spoke to us about picking a university historian to ghost his book (we suspect that's not something that ever crossed Wayne Rooney's mind but who knows?), being labelled a mercenary, the upcoming game on Friday and Roy Keane's feelings on Jack Charlton rubbing his first class status in the players faces on long plane journeys, while they were couped up in second class.
