Book Description
The autobiography of a footballing hero.

Synopsis
Steven Gerrard is a hero to millions, not only as the inspirational captain of Liverpool FC, but as a key member of the England team. Here, for the first time, he tells the story of his lifelong obsession with football, in an honest and revealing book which captures the extraordinary camaraderie, the soul-destroying tensions and the high-octane thrills of the modern game as never before. Born in the Liverpool suburb of Huyton in 1980, Steven first joined Liverpool as a YTS trainee and played his first game for the first team aged just 18. His career has gone from strength to strength ever since and he is now the team's captain and its lynchpin. Liverpool's incredible comeback in the Champions' League final in Istanbul in May 2005, recovering from a 3-goal deficit against AC Milan to win on penalties, is testament to the amazing power Gerrard has over his team. His presence on the pitch is a force to be reckoned with and places him amongst the very first rank of players in the world. A relatively private figure, Steven has rarely spoken out in public. Now, his legions of fans will be allowed an intimate glimpse of what makes their hero tick.

He speaks for the first time about the torturous will-he-won't-he Chelsea rumours and his undying passion for Liverpool. We experience first-hand the highs of winning in Istanbul and elsewhere, as well as the occasional lows of being parted from his much-loved family and friends. And of course, the book contains a full blow-by-blow account of England's world cup campaign in Germany 2006. Steven Gerrard's book is the definitive football autobiography. Like its subject, it's honest, passionate and exhilarating. If Steven Gerrard isn't your hero yet, by the time you've read this he will be...

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Pure Class, 11 Sep 2006 By  Andy Elliott (Ireland) - See all my reviews    I bought this on Saturday, finished it Sunday! Simply one of the best books I have read in a long time. Scouse humour shines through, and for those who have lived on merseyside, Gerrard re-kindles lost memories of saturday afternoons, playing footie on the street, coats and jumpers as goalposts. As a life long Liverpool fan, and a huge fan of the captain, it was good to read about the side of football you dont get in the papers. From his childhood mishaps to his agonizing penalty miss in Germany, Gerrard tells like it was. No holes barred. The language is straight off the streets, just like the man himself. Funny, witty, eyeopening are some of the words i would use. He says who he likes, who he doesn't, no shame. Reading about his side of events regarding the Chelsea saga brought home just how much Liverpool is a part of him, the very heart and soul of his game. You can't see Gerrard in any other colour but the bright red of Liverpool. The book leaves me in no doubt that one day, Stevie Gerrard will lead 11 men and 60,000 kopites to greatness! For any liverpool fan, this is a must. Buy it, read it, feel it, love it.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It beats every other footie book you've ever read by miles. You really get inside Stevie's head and understand what it feels like to play for a team you love, both Liverpool and England. He doesn't pull any punches either - I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of him! A fantastic read from start to finish!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Burgham "Pedros" (Chester, England) - See all my reviews    Reading this book gave me an insight into how not all modern footballers are wideboy, prima donna's obssessed with the bling. I bought the book and read it within a week which for someone who isn't the keenest say's alot. In the book he explains about why his roots and his family are important to him. It was very interesting to read about the drama of an injury when he was young nearly ended everything before it began (I won't give too many details). Other intriguing childhood insight comes from his rejection by the school of excellence at Lilleshall affected him badly and drove him to
