Robin Friday was an exceptional footballer who should have played
for England. He never did. Robin Friday was a brilliant player who
could have played in the top flight. He never did. Why? Because
Robin Friday was a man who would not bow down to anyone, who
refused to take life seriously and who lived every moment as if it
were his last. For anyone lucky enough to have seen him play, Robin
Friday was up there with the greats. Take it from one who knows:
'There is no doubt in my mind that if someone had taken a chance on
him he would have set the top division alight,' says the legendary
Stan Bowles. 'He could have gone right to the top, but he just went
off the rails a bit.' Loved and admired by everyone who saw him,
Friday also had a dark side: troubled, strong-minded, reckless, he
would end up destroying himself. Tragically, after years of alcohol
and drug abuse, he died at the age of 38 without ever having
fulfilled his potential. The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw
provides the first full appreciation of a man too long forgotten by
the world of football, and, along with a forthcoming film based on
Friday's life, with a screenplay by co-author Paolo Hewitt, this
book will surely give him the cult status he deserves.
