Brentford keeper’s amazing story

Tuesday, 17/01/2012

Brentford keeper Richard Lee hit the headlines last season with his cup heroics against Everton – but the incredible penalty saves in that game hid the truth about what was happening in his life.

Now the shot-stopper has revealed all about his struggles with being a keeper in a frank, honest and highly enteraining book.

After his move from Watford to Griffin Park, Lee found himself an outcast, out of the picture, out of the team and battling with a crisis of confidence.

How he battled back and regained his skills makes fascinating reading. And he reveals how he coped with the problems in this book.

Graduations, Life Lessons of a Professional Footballer, is one of the most honest footballing books you will ever read.

It goes a long way to proving that players aren't always as confident as they may look on the pitch.

And as a bonus, Lee answers questions from fans, posted to his website; and there are also Q and A sessions with other top keepers.
