Disunited (Paperback)


"A life, a team, a sport - changed forever"

When footballer Danny Prince transfers to a top club across town, he has everything he ever wanted: a lucrative career with a promising future, and a boyfriend who reads the Guardian. But it probably wasn't a good idea to celebrate the move in a gay nightclub. Accidentally snapped in a compromising photo that goes viral, he steps off the dance floor into a life flipped upside-down.

Football's last taboo: an out gay player.

Still, surely his new teammates will stick by him? And his manager, carved from granite, with lava for blood. And the club's owner, a Kazakh oil magnate with a limp and a past. And the media. And not forgetting the club's supporters...

Darkly funny yet pulling no punches, "Disunited" mixes the sweet, sour and spice of Danny's new life on and off the pitch.

Loyalty versus honesty, risk versus reward, defence versus attack. Danny versus the world.

"Disunited: " it's a book of two halves.

""Plenty of dark humour." - FourFourTwo Magazine, April 2013"

""A feat of writing genius ... this book must be read. ****" - So So Gay Magazine"
