What the Books Offer
In Eight, Paul Gascoigne recounts his rise as one of England's most talented footballers, 35 years after his legendary display at Italia 90. The autobiography is described as honest, raw, and moving, covering his personal difficulties and fight to overcome them. Dear England: Lessons in Leadership sees Southgate disclose pivotal moments that shaped his leadership approach as England manager, including his penalty miss at Euro '96 and steering England through four major tournaments.
Inside England by Jonathan Northcroft and Rob Draper traces the journey from Southgate's appointment through to Thomas Tuchel's tenure and the path to the 2026 World Cup. The journalists had access to the England squad under both managers, examining the team's development on and off the field.
Reception and Alternatives
Listeners have given Eight an impressive 4.7-star rating. One listener said: "That was a brilliant book, definitely written from the heart. It had me crying and laughing, it was almost like Gazza was sat in the room." Another added: "An amazing book not just for football fans, full of laughter, tears, joy and heartbreak." However, one reviewer felt the book was "spoiled" by bad language.
For those preferring physical copies, paperback versions are available at Waterstones. Spotify Premium subscribers can also enjoy 15 hours of audiobooks monthly at no extra charge, with an additional 15 hours via Audiobooks+.
