About this ebook

Chris Sutton is one of the finest centre-forwards of his generation. He played for Norwich, Blackburn, Chelsea and Celtic for combined transfer fees of more than GBP 20million. His career is littered with prizes and controversy, from refusing to play for England and his disastrous season at Chelsea, to making history with Celtic and Blackburn. In his candid autobiography, "Paradise and Beyond", he lifts the lid on it all - the family torment, the gambling debts, the incident that led to him being arrested the night before his GBP 5million record transfer fee from Norwich to Blackburn and much more. He gives his honest assessment of managers he played under such as Glenn Hoddle, Kenny Dalglish, Martin O'Neill and Luca Vialli. Sutton also opens his heart on the truth behind his controversial departure from Celtic and how he holds Gordon Strachan responsible. This book is not to be missed.

it's lovely, perhaps especially now in retrospect, nearly a decade later. chris is these days such a presence in the punditry ranks. the beauty of this book is that it's just about stream-of-consciousness. it seems barely edited, and reads as if verbatim. there is real power in that. the frequent repetitiveness, and sutton's unselfconscious -- and probably unwitting -- earnestness, is a welcome antidote to all the other overcooked, overwritten, over-edited books of a similar theme.

Lots of moaning. Spends too long ranting over being hard done by.
