'The only thought in my head when I opened my eyes was "Shit, here I go again." I did not want to be Tony Cascarino. I did not want to be a star with Nancy Football Club. I did not want to be a professional footballer. I woke up this morning feeling nothing but contempt for the game.'
In this compelling and sensationally honest book, Paul Kimmage introduces us to the man behind Ireland's international football hero. A man scarred by childhood, haunted by indiscretion and troubled by a secret from his past. A man struggling to find answers as he speeds towards the most terrifying juncture in sport.
