Footballer: My Story by Kelly Smith

2.0

This is far from great literature, but if you're a football fan then you'll appreciate Kelly's career and also her journey through alcohol abuse and self-harm. Despite this, the book is oddly devoid of emotional context and any mention of personal relationships. With over 100 appearances for England, she offers some insight into international tournaments although the book ends before the London Olympics, a unique occasion for Kelly to represent GB and beat Brazil in front of 70,000 people at Wembley stadium.

Edited to add: Maybe the above is a little harsh; on reflection the following review sums up my feelings rather well http://fromaleftwing.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/kelly-smith-its-always-quiet-ones.html
