An anecdote-driven narrative from Arsenal legend and football pundit Paul Merson, this book offers a humorous yet poignant look at the 'DOs and DO NOTs' of life as a professional footballer. Merson, a talented player in the 80s and 90s, captivated fans with his skills and vibrant personality, while also facing public struggles with gambling, drugs, and alcohol. Now, having overcome these challenges, he shares his insights and experiences, blending humor with heartfelt reflections. The narrative is filled with entertaining anecdotes that showcase his enduring love for football and his unique zest for life, cultivated over a 25-year association with the sport. Among the DO NOTs he humorously advises against are: adopting 'Champagne' Charlie Nicholas as a mentor, sharing a house with Gazza, placing £30,000 bets, getting so drunk you forget a match, and managing Walsall. This engaging story is both moving and laugh-out-loud funny, providing valuable lessons and a glimpse into the highs and lows of a football career.
