You could have sold more copies if you'd gone a bit more sensationalist:
In 1988, 23-year-old American goalkeeper Chip Stormblazer thought a glorious career in professional football awaited him. He had just saved two penalties & scored a hat-trick for his American club - the Orlando %@#$&!s - against Scotland's Glasgow Celtic, to help claim the first piece of silverware in their history. He was young, strong, healthy, sexy, black and confident. But professional football, he found, is rarely easy. Small Time is the story of a life spent hoovering up cheap drugs and cheap women, As Chip negotiated the night clubs of scotland, england and america, he struggled not only with his game, but his physical and mental health. Battling stress, social anxiety, the clap, and simple bad luck, he nonetheless experienced fleeting moments of triumph that no amount of money can buy. Football, he learned, is 95% blood, sweat, and tears; but if you love it enough, the other 5% makes up for it.
