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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 196mmItem Length: 125mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 211gAuthor: Peter CrouchGenre: Sports & HobbiesTopic: BiographyNarrator: Peter Crouch, Simon DarwenType: FootballRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
