Reviews
I love reading biographies and autobiographies. Sporting and Political. I have read so many from Alex Ferguson to Andre Agassi, Margaret Thatcher to Tony Benn. But Gavin Peacock's 'A Greater Glory' is one of the best I have ever read. It is superbly written, interesting, funny, littered with great anecdotes and thought provoking. An all-round brilliant read., This story is a one off! Be prepared for an insight into the workings of some of the top football managers in England. Also be prepared for some thought provoking, straight forward opinions on society today.I thoroughly recommend this read., I've enjoyed knowing Gavin both as a footballer and co-commentator over many years. I'm full of admiration for him and the way he lives out his faith. I'm thrilled to see him thrive as a pastor in Canada and look forward to the release of his autobiography., This is about as far as you could possibly get from your 'traditional' footballer's auto-biography.Given the almost unprecedented journey upon which he has embarked, it is both essential and fascinating to learn what shaped Gavin, from his family to his career in football to his faith., Gavin's story is varied, gripping and moving. I've never before read such an evocative description of how it actually feels to score a goal at the top level. Nor have I read a more spine tingling account of what it feels like to step up to the pulpit and preach. Football feels like a matter of life and death to some of us, but the gospel truly is ... and Gavin gives us a pitch-side seat as we experience the wonder of both., Gavin was a superb footballer, but more importantly a wonderful guy. His life story will be one of the football best ever reads for sure., This book is a very well written and fascinating account of a professional footballer's family's life, with a great insight into how the industry works, its ups and downs, pressures and triumphs and disappointments. But for myself this book is about life itself, including religion, beliefs, the sacrifices you have to make to be or to do what you might want out of life itself. Making vital decisions under pressure that not only affect you but your whole family. About living your life at whatever level you are at, and making decisions along the road as best you can for yourself and the people you love. What's important in life for the individual is so different and complex! I thoroughly recommend this book!!, What a fabulous book! A must-read for all - not just football fans. I loved working with Gavin as his manager at Chelsea and I've always said he was in my top 3 players I ever signed as a manager. His talent has shone through again in this wonderful book.A beautiful insight to Gavin's life and an inspiration to all. Loved it!, Gavin's story includes playing for some of the top managers in football including Harry Redknapp, Kevin Keegan, Ossie Ardiles and Glenn Hoddle. I played against Gavin a number of times and he was an outstanding professional but perhaps more importantly, he was also a man of very good character., The story of a not so ordinary man who gave it up for more, a fascinating read from start to finish ... a real insight to life as a player and to life as a Christian and what it means. An honest, sincere, and real thought provoking book ... you can only admire him for giving up all he had, and wanting more ... which Gavin will tell you he has found., ... what I appreciated most in this book was a priceless wisdom that has enabled him to navigate life. So how do you work out relationships, disappointment, disability, parenting, marriage,career? In chapter after chapter I just loved the paragraphs that explained how he was thinking and anchored in Jesus Christ when he was confronted by life's complexity. There was gold in chapter after chapter. A riveting read that I thoroughly recommend to all.

Synopsis
"There is more to life than football, fame and fortune. There is a greater joy and a greater glory to be had." Premier league footballer turned pastor Gavin Peacock tells the story of his career and his faith in this fascinating, thought-provoking and personal read. 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. 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. This riveting autobiography follows Gavin's life through the lens of his journeys with football, family and faith: football fan to Chelsea captain, son to father, pundit to preacher. Experience the rollercoaster of 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.
