My Autobiography : A Real Football Life

Grant Holt
£20.00

Grant Holt’s path to the Premier Leaguewas far from conventional. Non-league stalwart. Semi-pro in Australia. Unlikely Singapore soccer star. Holt tried it all, before a series of rejections made him give up football at the age of 21. He was done with it. Nine years later, he was bullying Premier League defenders and scoring at Anfield, the Emirates and Stamford Bridge on his way to becoming England’s second highest scorer behind Wayne Rooney in the 2011-12 season.
