Kerry's life in recent years has been bedevilled by problems with gambling, drugs &, worst of all, a prison sentence in 2015 after he was convicted of grievous bodily harm following a fight in a pub. At that point, one of football's golden boys finally hit rock bottom. This book is the honest, unflinching account of his rise & fall, & of the new life he is now slowly & patiently building. His memories of playing in a more robust era of the game, before the days of multi-million-pound salaries & all the rest of the modern football circus, will appeal to plenty of nostalgic football fans, as well as to all those who remember him as one of the game's all-time greats.

Equally, his unflinching recollections of his darkest days, culminating in his time in prison, are about as far from the Beautiful Game as anyone can imagine. The world is all too familiar with tales of once-famous footballers falling from grace. Up Front, however, is unique at once for its flashes of humour in adversity, its clear-eyed reflections on a different age of football, when leading players could all too easily be treated as disposable, & finally for its humility. For Kerry Dixon, as this often moving autobiography shows, the only way is up.

New York, 1961. One young woman from Essex has come to The Big Apple to begin a career that will change the course of her life. At the age of 22, Betty Riegel was plucked from more than a thousand eager young British women who had applied to be part of the Pan Am programme & was sent to New York to learn the art of being the perfect stewardess. Growing up in a working-class family with parents who struggled to make ends meet, Betty spent the first six years of her life hiding in air-raid shelters as bombs dropped around her & her dad fought for his country. In her early twenties, she saw an advert in the local newspaper & secured herself an interview for the Pan Am training programme. She was weighed & measured, & declared 'desirable' enough to earn a coveted place. Having never left her home town before, Betty said goodbye to her parents & her high-school sweetheart, boarded her first plane to New York, & landed in Manhattan
- a city full of noise, traffic, towering skyscrapers & promise. Under the watchful eye of her housemother, Dottie, Betty was taught deportment, geography, safety, make-up application & how to charm the passengers. But nothing prepared her for the rollercoaster of life in the air
- preparing five-course Parisian cuisine from scratch in the galley of the plane, mixing cocktails at an open bar, serving lobster thermidor & two-foot-long fillets of beef to each passenger's

Specification. Scrambling 280 eggs for breakfast in severe turbulence & teaching the mashed potato dance to a Saudi Prince
