Jimmy Glass saved a football club. Now all he had to do was save himself



It was Jimmy's 95th minute goal in the last game of the season which kept Carlisle in the Football League. Even more remarkably, Jimmy is a goalkeeper...

A one-time gambling addict and bodyguard for Andre Agassi, as well as the only 'keeper to score an own goal at Wembley, Jimmy Glass' rollercoaster career is a world away from the standard football biography.

His journey through every level of the game, from Premier League to Sunday league, sees him battling to stay afloat in a sport awash with money but drowning in debt. This devastatingly honest account gives the inside story of the most momentous period of change football has ever seen.
