One of the most remarkable sports books ever written… A Life Too
Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke… stands as the definite work on
mental illness in football
*Daily Telegraph*
Incredible… It’s a stunning, fascinating and ultimately
heartbreaking piece of work that has done so much to further the
understanding between mental illness and sport. It is also a
reminder that, for all the status and all the luxury which come
with being a professional footballer, those lucky enough to make a
career from the game are still human beings, too
*People*
An intensely moving book that transcends football
*Raphael Honigstein, Guardian*
A tragic book, but a brilliant one. Reng's is one of the best
sports books to have been published in years
*Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung*
This is a powerful book which transcends football.
