DEDICATION

I would like to dedicate this book to my family,
especially my wife, Alex, and my three beautiful daughters, Lilly-Ella, Lexie and Lourdes.

I hope that, by reading it, they better understand my story and can learn from my experiences, both good and bad, in a game I love.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank Struan Marshall and
Kathryn Taylor at Wasserman and Andy Sterling of Benson McGarvey for their advice and help throughout my career. Thanks also to Jonathan Taylor and Richard Roper of Headline Publishing Group for their expertise in putting the book together, Paul Joyce of the
Daily Express
for helping to get my thoughts down and to Ged Rea for collating all the statistics.
