From Word of Sport:

Highly praised account of Adams' journey to the gutter and back. Brutal, honest and compelling. After years of abusing his talent with sporadic and spectacular binges, Tone sees the light after Euro 96 and emerges as a sensitive if still highly competitive soul hell-bent on establishing a new life for himself.

From the Publisher:

Rejection. Loneliness. Panic. Fear. Anger. All emotions that Tony Adams has been through during his remorseless descent into alcoholic addiction. But beyond the drinking binges, bed wetting and self deceit lies a moving story of how the Arsenal captain battled against all the odds to resurrect his life on and off the pitch to become even more indispensable for club and country.

More than a football book, his autobiography is a ground-breaking life journey to the gutter and back.

From the Critics:

“An impressive and candid memoir...it's hard to recall another book in which the author has spoken with such self lacerating honesty”

The Times

“So good, so scorchingly honest and revealing ...we are certainly on fresh terrain here”

Daily Telegraph

“Not only an extraordinarily frank and honourable book but an important one”

Evening Standard
