The book is divided into four parts.

Part One follows the early years of my life and covers my football career. It describes how, having been born into an ordinary family in the south of England, I was spotted at a young age by a local football scout; how I went on to play for my country at youth level and then, in my senior career, played for some of England’s oldest clubs, including spending a number of years in the Premier League. This part of the book concludes by describing how my career came to an end a few years after I suffered a serious injury, which prompted me to turn to trading and develop it into my new full-time career.

Part Two delivers a basic introduction to trading the markets and specifically goes into detail about spread betting, the trading vehicle I use. I give some details on how I operate as a trader, the main strategy I use and what I feel are the essential tools of the trade – both in terms of physical tools and psychological approach.

Part Three covers in detail some of the most poignant experiences I’ve had as a trader. These are some of my best trading stories. These stories provide even more insight into my decision-making process, and show how I deal with some of the daily ups and downs of being a professional trader.

Part Four shows some of the parallels between trading and football. By drawing on my knowledge and experience from the world of football, I describe how and why certain pitfalls present themselves in trading and the best way to deal with them.

It was always my aim to provide something that had entertainment as well as educational value while I was writing this book. So, read and learn, but I hope you enjoy parts of the story too!
