Steven Gerrard is a hero to millions, not only as the inspirational captain of Liverpool FC, but as a key member of the England team. Here, for the first time, he tells the story...
more...of his lifelong obsession with football, in an honest and revealing book which captures the extraordinary camaraderie, the soul-destroying tensions and the high-octane thrills of the modern game as never before. Born in the Liverpool suburb of Huyton in 1980, Steven first joined Liverpool as a YTS trainee and played his first game for the first team aged just 18. His career has gone from strength to strength ever since and he is now the team's captain and its lynchpin. Liverpool's incredible comeback in the Champions' League final in Istanbul in May 2005, recovering from a 3-goal deficit against AC Milan to win on penalties, is testament to the amazing power Gerrard has over his team. His presence on the pitch is a force to be reckoned with and places him amongst the very first rank of players in the world. A relatively private figure, Steven has rarely spoken out in public. Now, his legions of fans will be allowed an intimate glimpse of what makes their hero tick.He speaks for the first time about the torturous will-he-won't-he Chelsea rumours and his undying passion for Liverpool. We experience first-hand the highs of winning in Istanbul and elsewhere, as well as the occasional lows of being parted from his much-loved family and friends. And of course, the book contains a full blow-by-blow account of England's world cup campaign in Germany 2006. Steven Gerrard's book is the definitive football autobiography. Like its subject, it's honest, passionate and exhilarating. If Steven Gerrard isn't your hero yet, by the time you've read this he will be... See all Product Description

Full review
When you pick up an autobiography, chances are you're going to be at least a bit interested in the person on the cover. So, it will be primarily football fans who read Gerrard's book; certainly, as a lifelong Liverpool fan, I was extremely interested in what the hero of many had to say. I was blown away by the quality of this gripping book, which kept me glued from start to finish. It is interesting, honest, and provides an insight into one of the country's most prominent footballers.
I won't reveal too much about the actual content, but there is never a dull moment. There is a wealth of content of Steven's childhood, always the most interesting part of an autobiography, which reveals the inspirations and deep relationship with football that he forged from birth. Particuarly for Liverpool fans, the book provides a wonderful insight into the workings of the club. Other readers will also be interested in the goings on of the Premier League, and the wonderfully eventful recount leaves little out, really opening up, which keeps the reader truly gripped. It is near impossible to put down.
Don't make the mistake of thinking this book is just for football fans. While they will get the most out of it, Gerrard's autobiography is superbly written, and makes enjoyable reading for anyone. This detailed, fast paced and surprisingly deep insight into one of the world's best footballers is a fantastic read, and one I would highly recommend.
