Description

At 6ft 7in tall, Peter Crouch is an imposing figure on the football pitch. But his story is one of perseverance and overcoming adversity. This autobiography reveals the highs and lows of Crouch's career, from his early days at non-league Dulwich Hamlet to his rise as a key player for England.

From being booed by his own fans to scoring crucial goals for his country, Crouch shares his experiences of intense scrutiny and constant battle to win over doubters. He recounts the pain of rejection at Aston Villa, followed by the elation of his transfer to Liverpool, and reflects on his role in England's 2006 World Cup campaign.

With humour, honesty and openness, Crouch tells the story of an unlikely hero who has defied expectations throughout his career. This is a candid and entertaining account of life as a professional footballer.
