Ever wanted to know how to play football like a pro?
The Secret Footballer has been outspokenly honest about his own career as a Premier League player. Now he focuses his trademark wit, intelligence and candour to reveal how you can gain a greater depth of understanding of the beautiful game - whether you're an aspiring future star or an armchair pundit.
You will find it all here. From an in-depth analysis of tactics to how to deal with mind games, from a tongue-in-cheek guide to the lingo of the pitch to a remarkable expose of modern football finances, The Secret Footballer will make you see the game in a whole new light. If you want to know how to stop a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, or why exactly Rooney is worth £300,000 a week, or who the greatest player of all time is, you will find it all here.
Famously opinionated, always controversial, The Secret Footballer tells you what they don't want you to know.
Fully illustrated with line drawings showing the technical aspects of the game, this will be the perfect Christmas gift for aspiring football stars and armchair pundits alike.
