Adam Carroll-Smith never completed a football sticker album as a kid. Try as he might, he was always a few stickers short. Six Stickers tells the story of Carroll-Smith's bid to complete his childhood album and rediscover his love for the game. After uncovering one of his long-lost, almost-finished albums, he decided now was the time to break that duck. Disillusioned and out of love with the modern game, he attempts to track down and photograph the six players missing from his Premier League 1996 sticker book. Featuring previously unpublished interviews with the subjects of the book, Carroll-Smith looks back at their time in football and how their lives have developed since; he also looks back at a time when English football was going through a transitional phase, prior to Euro 96 and at the dawn of the modern era, and examines the changes of the last 15 years.
Six Stickers is the second book from Adam Carroll-Smith, whose acclaimed Chasing Sachin saw him following his boyhood hero Sachin Tendulkar around the country. A writer with a witty, offbeat style, Adam has worked as a national newspaper sports reporter and at a news agency, and continues as a freelance to cover a wide range of sports nationwide.
