The funniest man in British sport - Metro Peter Crouch is a comedy
genius - Daily Mail Often recruited before they've worn long
trousers, today's footballers become superstars who earn huge
amounts without ever learning much about the world beyond the
training ground. Coddled by their support teams, everything is done
for them. They live their lives in the glaring media spotlight, yet
only really develop one life skill - how to kick a ball better.
Then inevitably, when age catches up with them or injury strikes,
these man-children are thrown out into the real world, utterly
defenceless apart from their multi-million-pound bank accounts. So
what do these Peter Pans, whose careers end just as most people's
are getting going, do with the rest of their lives? Crouch speaks
from his own experience and discusses with fellow former
professionals too - just how do you safely release a near
seven-foot striker back into the wild? Peter goes in search of the
answer to what his second career might be and encounters stories
far more bizarre than anything you'll find on the pitch. From the
pleasure and pain of management to the lessons we can learn from
Jamie Carragher and Joe Cole on not going to seed. From those
staying in the sport - the diehard veterans, coaches, managers,
owners and of course the legion of pundits, to those moving on to
pastures new. Peter talks to entrepreneurs, men of the cloth, eco
warriors, artists, private detectives and budding actors, as well
as those who've lost their way in addiction, crime and NFTs. When
the final whistle blows, it's still all to play for.
