Publisher's Summary

Andy Bernal's incredible life journey has spanned three continents—Australia, Europe, and South America—and some of the world's biggest names in football. A graduate of the AIS, he was the first Australian to play in La Liga. He went on to play with Ipswich Town, six seasons with Reading, five seasons with Sydney Olympic in the NSL, and 21 games with the Socceroos from 1989 to 1996. 

On retirement, he became an agent with global giants SFX which included time spent with David Beckham in Madrid. The low points of his life included being arrested because of a link to a sting operation as part of a global media scandal, followed by further high points via World Cup scouting, and meeting the love of his life.

Ultimately, Riding Shotgun is also a tale of life, hope, and redemption that is raw, honest, and heartfelt.

Just as Andy Bernal, defender, left nothing out on the pitch, Riding Shotgun leaves no aspect of Andy's life unexamined or unturned. It is a compelling listen.

Exhilarating, stiring and heart wrenching.

A real, raw and revealing story of a strong character forged in post war Australian culture who flew the heights of galactic proportions at Real Madrid. A talented product of immigrant parents, Andy navigated extreme adversity on multiple fronts throughout his footballing and agent lives to transition through the muddied waters of the greatest UK tabloid media industry scandal. A story of a strongly principled and loyal man, a disposable commodity in the all-consuming monster of modern avarice to ultimately a redeeming ownership of mental health issues and the love of family.
