LIFE’S A PITCH By Ian Darler


Ian Darler, Head Groundsman at Cambridge United’s Abbey Stadium for 40 years, looks back on an eventful career in his autobiography, Life’s a Pitch: The Groundsman’s Tale


From an apprenticeship that kindled his love affair with the turf to welcoming the world’s biggest football club to his stadium,


Discover:

o         why Ian is pictured on the book’s front cover in toeless wellies

o         the perils of working with high-spirited young footballers

o         which manager told him to ignore the pitch and go fishing

o         why he spent one day at work just hanging around.


But Ian also talks bravely about the life-threatening incident that plunged him into a very dark place, and sheds light on the reasons why he works tirelessly to raise money for good causes.


Life’s a Pitch is published by sports and special interest publisher G2 Entertainment.


Available for £16.99 including 4.00pp
