Micah Richards

‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’ Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them? When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football. Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career.

Ambitious and career driven, Chris Blevins is the youngest anchor in the history of Channel 9 news. He has succeeded where others have failed. Now his hard work has paid off. He's given the promotion of a lifetime to Editor in Chief at his company's newspaper. His boss, Chandler Preston has taken a personal interest in him. He has also found the woman of his dreams. Things could not be more right. That is until a night in the woods changes his life forever. Vampires and werewolves, once thought to be myth and legends, are horrifically all too real.
