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.
