In Eight, Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne reflects on his meteoric rise as one of England's most talented footballers, 35 years after his legendary performance at Italia '90. The honest, raw, and moving memoir also chronicles his personal struggles and his fight to overcome them, as reported by Birmingham Live.
About Gareth Southgate's Book
Dear England: Lessons in Leadership sees Southgate reveal the pivotal moments that shaped his leadership approach as England manager. He outlines the principles guiding his key decisions and how he coped under intense scrutiny as a Premier League captain, after his penalty miss at Euro '96, and while leading England through four major tournaments.
Inside England: Behind the Scenes
Jonathan Northcroft and Rob Draper, European Football Writer of the Year and Chief Football Correspondent at the Sunday Times respectively, document the journey from Southgate's appointment through Thomas Tuchel's tenure and the road to 2026. Both writers have had access to the England camp under each manager, exploring the nation's development on and off the pitch.
For those preferring physical copies, paperback editions are available at Waterstones. Spotify Premium subscribers can enjoy 15 hours of audiobooks monthly at no extra cost, with an additional 15 hours via Audiobooks+. New members can take advantage of a three-month trial, ordinarily costing £8.99 per month.
Fan Reviews
England fans have awarded Gazza's 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." Despite a five-star rating, one reviewer noted the book was 'spoiled' by bad language: "The bad language did spoil it for me." Yet another commented: "This is just brilliant to get the real story from the main man himself. A great listen for any football fan."
