Description
Despite his consistency, his achievements, and—more so—his visibility, he has never written an autobiography, nor has a biography ever been written about him. He remains an enigmatic figure. We barely know how his teammates really feel about him, and we do not know what he thinks of them. We do not really know how the events of the past decade in Egypt have impacted his life. We barely know what truly motivates him, and we know very little about whether a move to join the exodus of high-level, European-based footballers in Saudi Arabia would interest him. This biography seeks to answer those questions by speaking to the people who know him best through a mixture of on-record and off-record interviews. A definitive biography to remember.
