Norman Parkin's exotic football career took him all around the
world, and he's still coaching football teams in the Philippines.
On 8 November 2013, he touched down at Manila airport, as a natural
disaster unfolded around him. He decided to do something to help:
to write a book about some of football's greatest legends and
rebels. Long-term aid is still desperately needed to rebuild
shattered lives in the Philippines. Norman travelled up and down
the UK, and spent hours on the phone to capture the stories of the
heroes, villains and true characters of football, from Stanley
Matthews to Malcolm Macdonald. On a quest to discover the true
heart and soul of the beautiful game, he met ex-players in pubs,
cafes, offices and radio stations. Open the pages to discover a
world of blood, sweat and broken bones, a far cry from the
multi-million pound game that football has become today. All
royalties after expenses from the sale of the book will go to the
Philippines Typhoon Relief Fund.
