October Pick
Crossing The White Line: A Life Sentence
A dream delayed is not a dream denied.
In Crossing The White Line: A Life Sentence, Andy Leaning shares his memoir of ambition, resilience, and the pursuit of professional football. Set in northern England in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the story follows a young man determined to become a professional footballer despite setbacks, including a six-year detour into a trade he never wanted.
From struggling to adapt to life as a pro to heroics at Anfield during the FA Cup, Leaning reveals the mental and emotional qualities required to succeed in sport, and in life. This inspiring story is a testament to perseverance, self-belief, and the pursuit of your dreams.
