Premier league footballer turned pastor Gavin Peacock tells the story of his career and his faith in this fascinating, thought-provoking and personal read.

'There is more to life than football, fame and fortune. There is a greater joy and a greater glory to be had.'

What makes a man walk away from his life as a professional footballer turned BBC pundit to become a church minister?

They say it is every schoolboy's dream to play in the F.A. Cup Final and it's a dream that came true for Gavin Peacock. In his riveting autobiography follow Gavin's journey from a child growing up in a footballing family to Chelsea captain; from a son following in his father's footsteps to a husband and father supporting his own family; from pundit to preacher.

Experience his highs and lows as he tells his story and explains the driving force behind it all - his love for football, his love for his family, and most importantly his love for God.

Format: Large hardback book with dust jacket.

    I purchased this book for my grandson at Christmas. (Yes, a wee footballer! And he has yet to read it.) I learned of its existence in a YouTube interview of the author. His story is so powerful, so wonderful, that I simply had to buy the book! I have every confidence my grandson will be marvellously inspired by it.

    I love books, but I am not a quick or frequent reader. Nevertheless, this early birthday gift was a brilliant “holiday read” which I started and amazingly finished during my holiday (rare for me). Greater Glory indeed! Thank you, Gavin Peacock, for your plain and open writing which made compelling reading and should appeal to any sports fans or biography readers, whether they are a Christian or not. I found myself particularly thankful for some of the footballers whose comments appear at the beginning of the book as I prayed that they may still recall the Christian message of hope that they would’ve read. It also provided a great insight into 80s-90s football (when I had all the Panini sticker albums!) – If you’re reading this review, you need to buy it, read it and then you too will recommend it!
