Description
Book SynopsisIn the vein of
Hotel Babylon and
Confessions of a GP,
The Secret Player will fascinate footballs fans with its wealth of insider knowledge and willingness to talk, albeit anonymously, about the inner workings of the game. Based on the hugely popular ''The Player'' columns in
FourFourTwo magazine, the book gives a warts-and-all insight into the daily life of professional footballers. Month by month, it chronicles the oscillating rhythms of the season, from the trudge of pre-season to the ''squeaky-bum time'' of promotion and relegation. The player himself has played at all levels of English football - from Premier League to a season of non-League - and represented England.
