[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a die-hard Spurs fan, I had to read this when it first came out. I've always admired Gary Mabbutt, one of our most reliable and consistent players. Reading his autobiography gave me a whole new appreciation of the man. Mabbutt was a type 1 diabetic and had to give himself insulin shots before every game. He had to overcome so many barriers to become a professional footballer. That he was able to become such an important player for a big club like Tottenham Hotspur was truly against all odds.
