How to be an Ex-Footballer

I have to confess that I'm not really a football fan; rugby is more my cup of tea (sorry Crouchy.) I will also confess that I never really thought about what happens to a football player, or indeed any sports person, when they retire. So what does happen to a football player when he hangs up his boots?
How To Be An Ex-Footballer answers that question in spades. Crouch shares many stories of ex footballers and the career paths they followed after retiring from football. Some are hilarious, others are sad beyond words.
This is certainly a thought provoking book. Any misconceptions I had about footballers have certainly been put to bed.
I like Peter Crouch. He has a wonderful sense of humour, he doesn't take himself too seriously, and he can write a book about life after football that will have you laughing uproariously one minute, and crying into your coffee cup the next.
