The inspiring and untold story of Ledley King, one of English football's most lauded and recognised talents, and the heartbreaking account of a career cruelly cut short.

King Summary

King: My Autobiography by Ledley King

Born in Bow in 1980, Ledley King joined Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee at the age of sixteen, and was a White Hart Lane talisman from his 1999 debut through to his retirement in 2012. Telling it how it was behind the scenes at Spurs during his years progressing from schoolboy trainee to club captain, King dramatically chronicles the turbulent times and personalities of the modern White Hart Lane. Yet above all, King is the story of one of the most widely admired and respected English footballers of modern times - one of passion and roots, friendship, courage, grit; and of a role model of great strength yet rare humility.

King Reviews

'Now you can read the man's story told as only he can tell it - honestly and from the heart ... I wholeheartedly commend this book' Spurs Odyssey. * Spurs Odyssey *
'An entertaining and easy read ... as well as being the story of King's career, the book is also a history of Spurs in the 21st century. It's not been the smoothest of journeys, but if you choose to use King to refresh your memories of it, as well as learn more about what makes the great man tick, you'll be doing yourself a favour' Spurs Web. * Spurs Web *
