Total copies: 1
Simon Astaire takes us into the complex world of the England, Spurs and Arsenal legend Sol Campbell. In this frank account of a sporting life lived both in the soaring heights and in the darkest voids, Campbell traces his journey from the streets of East London, the FA School of Excellence and as a millionaire footballer for Tottenham and Arsenal, through Champions League and World Cup finals, to widespread acclaim as one of the finest defenders to have worn the England shirt. Along the way, he was labelled a traitor and ostracised by his peers, fell out with members of his family, suffered terrible racial and homophobic abuse, and was generally misunderstood by those who once classed him as one of their own. This is his side of the story.
