'Alan's book is like his game: incisive, thoughtful, intelligent
and consistently hits the target' Gary Lineker 'A brilliant,
articulate, thoughtful man with a wonderful sense of humour: Smudge
encapsulates all he is and knows in this fantastic book that will
capture the hearts of every football fan' Tony Adams 'It was
different back then, at least through Arsenal eyes. This was a
young, exciting team full of hope and desire, led by a manager
bristling with ambition . . .' Anfield '89. Copenhagen '94. Two of
Arsenal's greatest triumphs in the modern era. Both matches defined
by the goal-scoring prowess of one man - Alan 'Smudger' Smith.
Smith's rise in football was vertiginous: playing for Alvechurch in
the Southern League one year, competing in the top flight twelve
months later. His first three years at Leicester were characterized
by a successful partnership with Gary Lineker. When Lineker left
for Everton, Smith stepped forward as the main goal-getter. It was
Smith's move to Highbury, however, that enabled him to become the
winner of two Golden Boots and one of the most highly-rated
strikers in the game. Honest, insightful and authoritative, Heads
Up reveals what it was like forging a career in the tough First
Division of old before the glitz of the Premier League took hold;
the ins and outs of playing for George Graham and rooming with
Gazza; the truth behind Anfield '89; which team could easily have
gone on to become the first 'Invincibles' had Chelsea not spoiled
it one February afternoon; how the highs of the game can quickly be
converted into morale-sapping lows; and how injury really does
affect a career. After twenty years of writing for the Daily
Telegraph, covering four World Cups, four European Championships
and countless club games, Alan Smith has done what few
ex-professionals are able to do - describe in his own words what
it's really like to play the game . . . 'Very enjoyable and
typically honest account by my old mate on a fine career' Lee Dixon
