- can only dream of: stepping out of the crowd & onto a Premiership pitch. Lars Leese's foray into the wild world of professional football lasted only three years, but his journey from computer software salesman to Premiership goalie is a remarkable story. Here, Ronald Reng traces his stratospheric rise & equally alarming descent: the resulting narrative is an indispensable antidote to the traditional footballing briography & a unique
- & at times shocking
- outsider's view of English life. Not since you last read the back pages of the News of the World will you have seen such an accurate picture of life as a Premiership footballer.' Remarkable- Provides an extraordinary snap-shot of English behaviour in a professional football dressing-room & in a Yorkshire town.' Henry Winter, Daily Telegraph
