A greengrocer's son from Leicester,who became arguably the greatest goalkeeper in the world,Peter Shilton spent many a long evening kicking a ball against his dad's shop wall and diving for the rebound.
Within a few years Arsenal and Manchester United were seeking his signature.He opted for his home-town club,and in June 1965 put pen to paper and signed up for what still stands as one of the longest careers in football: thirty-two years in the professional game,much of it at the very top.
Peter Shilton is a football legend.Today he remains a household name: his unsurpassed number of senior appearances (1400) and record 125 caps for England are likely to remain unbroken.His 25 clean sheets in one season at Nottingham Forest, and 67 throughout an England career that spanned from the seventies until the nineties are landmarks in the modern game.
He began his career when Stanley Matthews was playing football and ended in the era of David Beckham.In 'Peter Shilton: The Autobiography' Peter relives his itinerant childhood in Leicester and his time at the pinnacle of the game.His autobiography tells not only the story of his life and career in football,but also delves into the history and characters of the game,the
unguarded asides,humour,friendship and golden moments; quintessentially what makes football the greatest game on earth.
He speaks frankly about the gambling and financial problems that engulfed him in the nineties and how - when faced with near bankruptcy - he fought back from the brink of financial ruin.His story is a compelling and hugely entertaining portrait of a man who is loved and respected throughout the football world.It is a ticket to a game that was not subject to manic hyperbole - a time when football was fun.
Peter Shilton started out with Leicester City at 15,moved on to Stoke City,then won two European Cups,a League Championship medal and a PFA Player of the Year Award with Nottingham Forest.He also played for Southampton and Derby County before managing Plymouth Argyle.He completed his career-record of 1,005 League appearances at Bolton Wanderers and Leyton Orient.
