Sweeper Keeper

"Forty-five years after his remarkable career with Liverpool, Tommy Lawrence gained viral fame, achieving a resurgence in popularity long after being one of the heroes of Shankly's first big team. This is a interesting book about a life marked by both great fortune and misfortune, about how things can spiral out of control, and yet, remarkably, conclude on a positive note. Especially if you, despite facing challenges, are a man who remains appreciated by everyone."

"A fascinating delve into one of the much-loved figures to grace Liverpool Football Club. Educative and full of tales from those who knew him best to those who watched on with amazement, this is a book that combines both the human side of the man as well as his wonderful exploits on a football pitch... a great man's story brilliant told within... A truly excellent read from start to finish, with humour, information and anecdotes that make you feel part of every single step of Lawrence's journey."

"I read this book overnight at a single sitting. It was mesmerising. It is one of those narratives (and not every author can do this) where as you reach the end of a chapter you have to immediately press on with the next one because you need to know what happens next. There were some tough times to be endured but the beauty of this man's character and personality shine out brightly from every page. This is a wonderful account of a truly extraordinary human being so well done indeed to all those who contributed towards it."
