Alive and Kicking by Andy Legg
In 2005 Welsh soccer star Andy Legg's life was turned upside down. Forced to retire after finding out that a lump in his neck was cancer, it seemed that his 15-year career, which included playing for Cardiff and Swansea City, was over. But an operation to remove the tumour was successful and the 42-year-old Neath-born star is now back on the field. Alive and Kicking is his emotional account of his fears for his career and his life, and his gratitude for the support of his fans which give him the strength to fight on - Quick Reads are exciting, short, fast-paced books by leading, bestselling authors, specifically written for emergent readers and adult learners. A major new initiative from leading publishers, booksellers and writers, this is one of the most exciting adult learning developments for years.
Andy Legg is a Welsh international footballer and one of a select band to play for South Wales arch rivals Swansea City and Cardiff City.
