About the Book

Sometimes scoring isn’t the only thing when you’re a striker, as top tier footballer, Scott, has found out. He’s awoken to find himself in over his head—he’s just shagged someone who’s not his wife, rather his best friend’s wife, to be precise.

Keeping such indiscretion under wraps isn’t easy, especially when your every move is fastidiously documented on every tabloid and broadsheet all over the world, your every thought tweeted and followed by millions. It is especially difficult when there are reporters in woodwork, eager to sniff out a story that will expose the corruption, decay and sleaze that fuels this fraudulent and multi-billion dollar industry known as the Premier League. In a world where the currency is fame, how much is Scott willing to lose to keep everything he’s gained?

If you’ve ever wanted to know what goes on behind-the-scenes of one of the most prestigious football leagues in the world, consider this book your grandstand season ticket.

About the author

In 1996, Neil Humphreys left Dagenham, England, to travel the world. He got as far as Toa Payoh, Singapore, and decided the rest of the world could wait.

His 10-year sojourn in Singapore saw the publication of three best-selling works: Notes from an Even Smaller Island (2001), Scribbles from the Same Island (2003) and Final Notes from a Great Island: A Farewell Tour of Singapore (2006), and the omnibus Complete Notes from Singapore (2007).

Neil then headed south for Victoria, Australia, where his fifth book, Be My Baby, was conceived and gestated in 2008. He writes for several magazines and newspapers in Singapore, Australia and the UK. He still watches West Ham and believes Billy Bonds could get a game for them.
