Description

<p><b>'Wrighty's characteristic honesty means his book is far more engrossing than most bland football memoirs' <i>Sunday Times</i></b> <p/>Ian Wright is one of the most fascinating and important figures in modern football. His journey from a South London council estate to national treasure is everyone's dream. From Sunday morning football directly to Crystal Palace; from 'boring, boring Arsenal' to inside the Wenger Revolution; from Saturday afternoons on the pitch to Saturday evenings on primetime television; from a week in prison to inspiring youth offenders; from punditry and back again, Ian reveals all about his extraordinary life and career. <p/>But that's only half of the story. In this unputdownable autobiography, Ian Wright frankly discusses how retirement affects footballers; the rise of agents; why George Graham deserves a statue; social media; why music matters; breaking Arsenal's goal-scoring record; racism in and out of the game; and the unadulterated joy of playing alongside Dennis Bergkamp. <p/><i>A Life in Football</i> is a thoughtful and entertaining insight into one of the greatest and most idiosyncratic sports stars of recent years.</p>
