Kerry's life in recent years has been bedevilled by problems with
gambling, drugs and, worst of all, a prison sentence in 2015 after
he was convicted of grievous bodily harm following a fight in a
pub. At that point, one of football's golden boys finally hit rock
bottom. This book is the honest, unflinching account of his rise
and fall, and of the new life he is now slowly and patiently
building. His memories of playing in a more robust era of the game,
before the days of multi-million-pound salaries and all the rest of
the modern football circus, will appeal to plenty of nostalgic
football fans, as well as to all those who remember him as one of
the game's all-time greats. Equally, his unflinching recollections
of his darkest days, culminating in his time in prison, are about
as far from the Beautiful Game as anyone can imagine. The world is
all too familiar with tales of once-famous footballers falling from
grace.Up Front, however, is unique at once for its flashes of
humour in adversity, its clear-eyed reflections on a different age
of football, when leading players could all too easily be treated
as disposable, and finally for its humility. For Kerry Dixon, as
this often moving autobiography shows, the only way is up.
