Recently one of our new signings Jeremy Smith went to the “Writing About Sport” talk at the French Institute in London. Amongst some top writers speaking that evening was former FC Metz, Newcastle, Fulham, Everton and Spurs striker Louis Saha. The French international has just released a book called “Thinking Inside the Box” – AND ONE LUCKY FFW READER COULD WIN A SIGNED COPY!!!
Here comes the marketing bit - ‘Thinking Inside The Box’ is the sensational, thought-provoking book by France and Tottenham Hotspur football star Louis Saha. Published in France to widespread acclaim, it gives a unique, footballer’s-eye view of life as a Premier League striker – from the glory, the riches and the fast cars to the pressure to win, the agonising injuries and the women who will do anything to bed a footballer!
Saha writes with great insight and humour, drawing on his own experiences – from his childhood in the notorious outer suburbs of Paris to starring for Manchester United in the Premier League and reaching the World Cup with France – and tackles heavyweight issues like racism, inflated player wages and media intrusion head-on.
Packed with insights, anecdotes and perceptive personal reflections, the book also contains the fascinating thoughts of numerous giants of the game who have granted Saha exclusive and incredibly revealing interviews – including a remarkable one to one with Sir Alex Ferguson and quotes from the likes of Zinédine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Phil Neville and many more. There is even a chapter written by Saha’s wife, Aurélie, on life as a footballer’s wife.
‘Thinking Inside The Box’ is a truly unique and exceptional football book.
