The 10th Anniversary edition of this best-selling and critically
acclaimed book includes a brand new introduction and the opening
chapter from the author's new book - The Smell of Football 2. When
Mick Rathbone signed for Birmingham City as a 16 year-old
apprentice he was living every schoolboy's dream. But when he
discovered he was so nervous he was unable to speak, let alone pass
the ball, in the presence of his boyhood hero and City star Trevor
Francis, he realised that a career in football might not be
everything he had imagined. The Smell of Football is the brutally
honest and utterly unputdownable story of how 'Baz' conquered his
personal demons to build a life in the game - from the terrified
teenager who purposely tried to get injured in training rather than
get picked for the first team, to the experienced pro who became
Head of Medicine at Premier League Everton FC in charge of the
treatment of the likes of Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha and Tim Cahill.
Brilliantly written and packed with hilarious tales featuring a
football 'who's who' cast of characters - from Sir Alf Ramsey and
'Big Sam' Allardyce to David Moyes, Duncan Ferguson and Rooney
himself - The Smell of Football is an engrossing and moving memoir
that covers every aspect of the professional game and gives an
unprecedented insight into what life is really like at football's
coalface.
