  One of football's top goalscorers, Lee Chapman was born in Scorer Street and has had a chequered career indicative of the best and worst sides of the game. This is his account of life behind the glamour and the hype, tracing an encouraging start at Stoke, ill-fated moves to Arsenal and Sunderland, European experience with Niort in France, and his rise to the top with 1991/2 League champions Leeds United. Chapman offers his views on agents, injuries, training, changes since the Hillsborough disaster, and the advent of the FA Premier League, and tells of his encounters with prominent figures such as Brian Clough, Malcolm Allison, Vinnie Jones and Robert Maxwell.
