An anecdote-driven narrative of the classic footballer's DOs and
DO NOTs from the ever-popular Arsenal legend and football pundit
Paul Merson, aka The Merse .
When it comes to advice on the pitfalls of life as a
professional footballer, Paul Merson can pretty much write the
manual. In fact, that's exactly what he's done in this hilarious
new book which manages to be simultaneously poignant and gloriously
funny.
Merson was a prodigiously talented footballer in the 80s and
90s, gracing the upper echelons of the game - and the tabloid front
pages - with his breathtakingly skills and larger-than-life
off-field persona.
His much-publicised battles with gambling, drug and alcohol
addiction are behind him now, and football fans continue to be
drawn to his sharp footballing brain and playful antics on
SkySports cult results show Soccer Saturday.
The book delights and entertains with a treasure chest of
terrific anecdotes from a man who has never lost his love of
football and his inimitable joie de vivre through a 25-year
association with the Beautiful Game.
The DO NOTs include: DO NOT adopt 'Champagne' Charlie Nicholas
as your mentorDO NOT share a house with GazzaDO NOT regularly place
30,000 bets at the bookie'sDO NOT get so drunk that you can't
remember the 90 minutes of football you just played inDO NOT manage
Walsall (at any cost)
How Not to be a Professional Footballer is a hugely
entertaining, moving and laugh-out-loud funny story."
