Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Shelley Webb is married to former England and Manchester United star Neil Webb so she knows all about being a footballer's wife. "Malibu-drinking bimbos who live in mock-Tudor mansions, wear white stilettos and, collectively, have a lower IQ than the average football mascot", she says of this select socio-economic group. And then she goes on to comprehensively demolish this particular stereotype in her absorbing set of interviews with 15 soccer spouses. Neil Webb's career was suddenly and cruelly ended by injury and it is events beyond these women's control--injury, loss of form, transfer to god knows where--that blights their lives. Helen Saunders- -wife of Welsh star Dean--went to Turkey with him one weekend to find that by Monday he'd signed for an Istanbul club and this was her new home. Another common worry seems to be the attention of other women. What is it about millionaire footballers that attracts pretty girls? But mostly these are the stories of ordinary girls who hooked up with ordinary guys whose careers come first. Thoughtful and enlightening, grit as well as glitz, Webb has enabled these women tell it like it is. --Nick Wroe

Synopsis
The media tell the nation that footballers' wives live in mock-Tudor mansions, wear white stilettos, dance around handbags and, collectively, have a lower IQ than Paul Gascoigne. Shelley Webb, wife of ex-international Neil Webb, interviews here the women who tell it like it really is.
