Quote : 'Kevin Beattie is the best English born footballer I have ever seen'. Sir Bobby Robson CBE.
Description : The frank, funny, yet harrowingly poignant story of Kevin Beattie, the inaugural PFA young footballer of the year and a man tipped by Sir Alf Ramsey to win over 100 caps for his country.
A man who Sir Bobby Robson says is the best footballer that he has ever worked with. A footballer who was courted by legendary managers like Bill Shankly and Don Revie and who seemed destined for football greatness until injury wrecked his career.
Who tragically by the age of thirty, had become so down on his luck that he was picking up cigarette butts off the street and contemplating suicide, although he retained a dark sense of humour saying: 'I would have tied a hose to my exhaust pipe but my car had been repossessed.'
How did this happen ? Where did it all go wrong ? How has he coped since ? Find out in this amazing roller coaster ride of a story.
