Steven Gerrard is a phenomenon. He has played over 700 games for his beloved Liverpool and is the third most capped player in English football. He is one of the greatest sportsman of his generation.

In My Story Gerrard speaks fully and frankly about his extraordinary playing career, opening up about the key matches and moments to give us the view from on the pitch. His exhilarating accounts of winning and losing while staying loyal to one club through good and bad tell us about his commitment both to the game and to Liverpool. It's a story of a deeply personal relationship between one man, his club and the fans. And it is a story that is far from over.

Explosive and searingly honest, Steven Gerrard's My Story is the last word from an era-defining player.

Reviews

Excellent.

—— The Sun

A glowing testament to the camaraderie and inclusiveness of supporting a team lower down the football pyramid. Everyone is welcome in this uplifting book that celebrates the happiness to be found in reconnecting with your friends, your team and your home.

—— When Saturday Comes

Pure gold... A brilliant book that all football fans can relate to.

—— Late Tackle

A wonderfully warm-hearted book, which gives the beautiful game a good name.

—— Saga

Funny, well-paced, engaging and at times touching. It's a personal book for Dave. At first glance it looks like a book about Bromley's first season in the Vanarama National league, but dig a bit deeper and other themes emerge. Without oversharing, Dave gives us an insight into his emotions not just about his team, but about the feeling of home, family and hope. In summary: buy this book.

—— Thin White Line

Endearing and engrossing... what this book does beautifully is affirm that the enjoyment of football isn't so much about the game or the result, it's about the journey we, as supporters, take in the process.

—— The Football Pink

A timely celebration of non-league football... provides a great antidote to sport as big business.

—— The Bookseller

Football books can be a mixed bag, but Dave Roberts really hits the target with Home and Away.

—— The Non-League Paper

A cracking, beautifully-observed pilgrimage.

—— Birmingham Mail

A really good read. You don't have to be a Bromley fan to enjoy it.

—— Vanarama National League

A great read for anyone who loves football.

—— The Ball is Round

Roberts perfectly captures what it is to follow your team and the lengths that fans go to in order to get their football fix. And from these journeys it can be seen how Roberts' writing has been compared to Bill Bryson, with wit and warmth.

—— footballbookreviews.com

If ever there was an author that could capture the love for the non-league game then that man is Dave Roberts.

—— The Non-League Magazine

Getting the tone just right, the author's good humour shines throughout... there's a fresh-eyed quality to his observations.

—— Groundtastic
