Pat Symes has worked for national newspapers, radio and TV for 35 years as a journalist and director of a news agency. He counts himself lucky to have reported on Armstrong's Southampton career, and rates the player as ahead of his time. Pat's previous books include collaborations with cricketing greats Malcolm Marshall and Gordon Greenidge.
The ups and downs of the legendary Middlesbrough and Southampton winger's rollercoaster life have been fast and ferocious. Four years after playing for England, David signed on the dole. Missed chances, bailiffs, a broken marriage and a desperate desire for an ankle amputation lend this riches-to-rags story a human appeal far beyond football.
