Winner of the An Post Irish Sports Book of the Year Award
Longlisted for The William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 'Not
only the sports book of the year, the book of the year.' Paul
Howard 'Unputdownable,' The Last Word, Today FM 'You'll go a long
way to find a better autobiography. It's raw, unfiltered honesty
from start to finish, a captivating account of one man's story that
will resonate with so many more.' The Irish Independent 'The
bravest book I've read in a long time. A really quality read
written by a man who happened to be a footballer rather than a book
necessarily about football.' Damien O'Meara, RTE 'Storytelling of
the highest calibre. Richie Sadlier's autobiography is a
judiciously layered and thoughtful examination of how to live a
life and develop as a person despite everything. It's also
relentlessly entertaining. A rare and precious example of a sports
book that has both story and stories in abundance.' Malachy
Clerkin, The Irish Times 'The kind of book to stop you in your
tracks.' The Irish Farmers Journal When a career-ending injury saw
former Ireland and Millwall striker Richie Sadlier retire from
football at age 24, his life spiraled out of control. Without
structure or a sense of purpose, and fueled by a dependency on
alcohol, he spent years running from the dark memories and feelings
that had haunted him since childhood. Until one day, he hit rock
bottom and decided to confront his demons. Now a successful soccer
pundit, psychotherapist and mental-fitness teacher, Recovering is
about a life shaped by efforts to escape, and how it is possible to
rebuild a life, piece by piece, with the right help. Inspiring and
groundbreaking, it is an important reflection on the need to move
away from perceptions of shame in our discussions about mental
health, sex, relationships and addiction.
