About This Item
US: Mainstream Digital, 2011. Paperback. Very Good. Robin Friday was an exceptional footballer who should have played for Engla nd. He never did. Robin Friday was a brilliant player who could have played in the top flight. He never did. Why? Because Robin Friday was a man who would not bow down to anyone, who r efused to take life seriously and who lived every moment as if it were his last. For anyone lucky enough to have seen him play, Robin Friday was up th ere with the greats. Take it from one who knows: 'There is no doubt in my mind that if someone had taken a chance on him he would have set the to p division alight,' says the legendary Stan Bowles. 'He could hav e gone right to the top, but he just went off the rails a bit.' Loved and admired by everyone who saw him, Friday also had a dark side: troubled, strong-minded, reckless, he would end up destroying himself. Tragically, a fter years of alcohol and drug abuse, he died at the age of 38 without ever having fulfilled his potential. The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw provides the first full appreciation of a man too long forgotten by the world of football, and, along with a forthcoming film based on Friday's life, with a screenplay by co-author Paolo Hewitt, this book will surely give him the cult status he deserves.
