Jermaine Pennant is one of English footballs most controversial figures. Love him or loathe him, there is no ignoring the story he has to tell.

Raised by a mother who faked her own death to abandon her black baby, & a father who kept guns & Class A drugs in the house meant that lifes options for a young Jermaine were limited.

Yet he saw professional football as his way out, & took his chance, emerging to be one of Englands most gifted young footballers. A true prodigy, Jermaine climbed to the pinnacle of his sport to compete for the highest honours with legends at Arsenal & Liverpool.

The boy from one of Englands toughest neighbourhoods was barely into his twenties & rich beyond his wildest dreams. But, for Jermaine, some of lifes most important lessons were learned late.

His outrageous lifestyle would spark a fall from the dizzying heights he had reached, ensuring hed be remembered as much for being the mental yob with an ankle tag as for his heroic performance in a Champions League final.

On 4 August 2012 Jessica Ennis kicked off what some described as the greatest night in British sporting history. For her it was the end of a long, winding, & sometimes harrowing road. Nobody was under more pressure at the London Olympics than 'the face of the Games'. Yet Jessica delivered the heptathlon gold medal, & the huge outpouring of relief she showed afterwards hinted at the roller-coaster journey she had been on. Behind the smiles & politeness, Jessica has endured much. Bullied at school for being small, she proved to critics & rivals alike that size really didn't matter. Hers is an inspiring tale of following your dreams no matter what life throws at you. In 2008 Jessica thought her career might be over when she was injured on the eve of the Olympic Games in Beijing. But she overcame this setback to rebuild her career & technique, becoming the world & European champion in successive years. Her biggest test was yet to come, though, when her rivals overhauled her in the build-up to London. Unbelievable is a refreshingly candid account of her rise to fame in a highly charged world in which body image issues & drug abuses lurk. From the unique pressures facing her, to behind-the-scenes glimpses into the greatest show on earth, & a revealing account of her love-hate relationship with her long-term coach, Jessica reveals the truth behind the smiles for the first time. Unbelievable

Includes:: exclusive behind-the-scenes photos. This is the story of how the girl next door became London's poster girl, & how an ordinary woman used an extraordinary talent to claim the title of the world's greatest all-round female sports star.
