Review:

A book so refreshing you are often tempted to break into applause ((Sunday Telegraph))

Every now and again a football biography comes along that sidesteps the usual garbage with a neat shimmy ... Wonderfully refreshing - it allows you a peek of that rare beast, a footballer's personality (in fact two of them) not just the clich�d shell that encases it. (4 stars. (Four Four Two))

A refreshing slice of biographical honesty and integrity ((Times))

Synopsis:

Gareth Southgate and Andy Woodman have been best friends since they were apprentices at Crystal Palace together. But while Southgate has gone on to play for a succession of Premiership Clubs, Woodman, after being released on the day Palace were promoted, has been shuffled around the lower divisions. This is the story of a friendship that has endured two wildly divergent careers and a gripping insight into the national game, from the staggering money and prestige of the Premier League to the precarious living and hard knocks of the Nationwide League.
