About this title

Synopsis

Garry Nelson's account of a run-of-the-mill season with Charlton Athletic instantly established itself as a soccer classic. It reveals more about the up-and-down reality of being a football player than any number of star autobiographies. Its focus is on the overcrowded treatment room, comeback games for the stiffs in front of a few fans, and the occasional highs before the next low strikes you from behind. Told with wit, intelligence, and insight, it is a riveting story as we come to appreciate one man's efforts to earn a living playing the game he loves and to which he has contributed so much.

Review

'If your interest in professional athletes lies this side of idolatory, read it. Fear is Nelson's companion; fear lit with occasional shafts of relief. And that is what sport is about' -- Simon Barnes, The Times 'A very good read indeed' -- Brian Moore 'For all the glamour of your Giggsys, Nelson's season portrays a more accurate picture of what life is like for 99 per cent of pros' -- Amy Lawrence, FourFourTwo 'It should be compulsory reading for any ambitious parent intent upon their son playing professional football' -- Michael Parkinson, Daily Telegraph 'The most candid and compelling behind the scenes football book you'll come across' -- 90 Minutes 'He has produced a rarity: a book by a practising sportsman that seems to tell it like it really is, intelligently and engagingly' -- Independent on Sunday
