The remarkable autobiography of the most troubled footballer of modern times.Andy Morrison was a cult hero with the fans of every club he ever played for and the inspirational skipper of Plymouth Argyle,Blackpool, Huddersfield Town and Manchester City.He was especially inspirational at City,driving the club to promotion during one of its darkest eras.
However,away from football it was a different story.Brought up on Plymouth's toughest council estate it seemed he was to be confronted by adversity at every turn.And that is how it turned out.His life has been scarred by violence,alcoholism,trouble with the law and personal tragedy.
This is a wholly frank and honest book, painfully so at times,a moving account of one man's demons and how he has been fighting them for the best part of three decades.He does not hide his problems with drink,the fights with teammates and managers,the bar brawls,the pursuit of fans who abused him,the Crown Court trial that could have seen him jailed for years, the conviction for benefit fraud or the traumatic events that wreaked havoc on his family.
Morrison believes that many of his problems can be traced to a horrific incident in his youth, one that he has never spoken about.Until now. This is the remarkable story of a man in crisis and of his refusal to give in to the dark side of his psyche.
