I wrote my first book, titled, "Get Your Tits Out For The Lads" which is a memoir. The book outlines my journey into the masculine and rather enigmatic world of football and focuses on gender equality. If you want to laugh out loud, cry and say 'wow' more than once, this story will give you that and more!It was shortlisted for the SUNDAY TIMES best football book of the year in June 2024. It's the perfect book for those who would like a real insight into what it's like to be an intelligent, young woman working in a male dominated world.The book was published by FairPlay Publishing in June 2023.
