What happens when the dream ends? From the backstreets of Northern England to the roar of professional stadiums, Ticker Tape is a raw, unflinching journey through the life of a footballer who lived the dream-and survived its collapse. Driven by a childhood memory of falling ticker tape at the 1978 World Cup, he chases the game with everything he has. Goals come. Fame follows. But so do injury, rejection, addiction, and the brutal reality of life after football. As the cheers fade and the lights dim, he is forced to confront the hardest question of all:
Who are you when the thing that defined you disappears? Honest, powerful, and deeply human, Ticker Tape is not just a story about football-it is a story about identity, resilience, and finding purpose when everything else is stripped away. For fans of football, memoir-style fiction, and powerful personal journeys, this is a story that will stay with you long after the final whistle.
