Synopsis

Gareth Southgate and Andy Woodman have been best friends since they were apprentices at Crystal Palace together. But while Southgate has gone on to play for a succession of Premiership Clubs, Woodman, after being released on the day Palace were promoted, has been shuffled around the lower divisions. This is the story of a friendship that has endured two wildly divergent careers and a gripping insight into the national game, from the staggering money and prestige of the Premier League to the precarious living and hard knocks of the Nationwide League.

Media Reviews
A book so refreshing you are often tempted to break into applause * (Sunday Telegraph) *
Every now and again a football biography comes along that sidesteps the usual garbage with a neat shimmy ... Wonderfully refreshing - it allows you a peek of that rare beast, a footballer's personality (in fact two of them) not just the cliched shell that encases it. * 4 stars. (Four Four Two) *
A refreshing slice of biographical honesty and integrity * (Times) *
