Description:

Stuart Pearce earned the nickname 'Psycho' from football fans due to his uncompromising attitude and total commitment on the pitch, contrasting with the era of superstar prima donnas. This autobiography delves into the fascinating story of one of English football's greatest personalities, offering an honest and straightforward account, much like the man himself. It chronicles his career from his early days as a part-time electrician and non-league player with Wealdstone to his long tenure at Nottingham Forest and his time with Newcastle United and West Ham, ultimately earning him 78 England caps. The book famously revisits the two penalties that defined his England career—one missed at the 1990 World Cup and another scored spectacularly at Euro '96, burying a public hoodoo. Pearce shares insights into managing under Brian Clough and offers no-nonsense portraits of football legends and also-rans he encountered throughout his journey in the professional game. This football autobiography is a compelling read for fans interested in English football history, insights into the professional game, and the story of a formidable player's battle to overcome challenges and achieve extraordinary feats in the sport.
