"BELIEVABLE!" -- Chris Kamara "From falling out with Mourinho to flying with Gerrard, this is a wonderful journey through football. Insightful and funny" -- Henry Winter, chief football writer, The Times "A bouncy, amusing and honest reminiscence. This is Ned in a nutshell." -- Jim Beglin, BT Sport co-commentator and former Irish professional footballer "A great read by one of sport's good guys." -- Jonathan Liew, sports writer, The Guardian "Ned has seen it all from the excesses and madness of Sky Sports in the early years to the revolving door of ITV Sport which he stayed firmly on the right side of. What Ned hasn't seen on a sports TV channel isn't worth knowing about." -- Gabby Logan "A beautiful love letter to a love no longer felt." -- Adrian Chiles "An elegant, stirring and often joyful journey through football and masculinity" -- Musa Okwonga "A funny, warm and wise book about football and the perpetual struggle to reach adulthood" -- Harry Pearson "Ned's perspective on football was always like no other - on one hand an amusingly stubborn refusal to succumb to its self-importance; on the other, a fascinated engagement with its narratives and culture.

I promise you - nobody saw the game quite like he did" -- Peter Drury "From falling out with Mourinho to flying with Gerrard, this is a wonderful journey through football." -- Henry Winter.
