Description

Who is the Secret Footballer? Only a few people know the true identity of the man inside the game. But whoever he is—and whoever he plays for—he is always honest, always fearless, and always opinionated. Now, for the first time, he reveals everything you need to know about the hidden world of professional football—the extraordinary highs, the desperate lows, and what it's really like to do a job most of us can only dream of.
