About this product
Product Information
Wingin' It is the ultimate story of hope over hate, the insightful autobiography of a footballer who beat the bigots. Due to the colour of his skin, Mark Walters always felt he needed to be twice as good as other players in order to succeed. But Mark drew inspiration from the way the late Cyrille Regis handled his racist detractors, and went on to fulfil his potential by flaunting his dazzling ball skills for England. While a starry-eyed kid in Birmingham, he somehow escaped the clutches of evil paedophile Ted Langford, although his mate wasn't so fortunate. He became an idol of the Villa Park terraces, though his move to Scotland was almost halted by a bloodthirsty mob who pelted him with bananas and pigs' feet. But Walters stood firm to become one of England's most popular exports. After a third successive league title, a GBP1.25 million move to Liverpool reunited him with Graeme Souness. Mark rewrote the record books at Anfield, but would ultimately call his decision to head south 'the biggest mistake of my career'.Product Identifiers

Great book!
This book comes highly recommended and is much better than your average football autobiography. With the diversity in today’s game, it’s hard to believe that Mark was the Scottish Premier League’s first Black player in January 1988 and it’s testament to the measure of the man that he endured the mindless racism that that was thrown his way and came out the other side. The glory days of Rangers aside, Mark’s early years also make a fascinating read, including the Super Cup win v Barcelona, while at Villa, and the adversity faced later while playing at Liverpool. Mark looks back at his career with honesty, humour and humility. A fantastic book by a fantastic player!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
