From A Field to Anfield is the inspirational story of Nick Tanner's against-the-odds rise from the uncompromising grassroots football scene in Bristol to the glamour of then-champions Liverpool. Nick's story is not one of spending years mollycoddled in an academy system and having success handed to him, but of graft, days spent working in a factory before making it to the top, and being sold to Bristol Rovers by non-league Mangotsfield United for a couple of floodlight bulbs. Nick was a member of the last Liverpool squad to win the title, was in the stands at Hillsborough in 1989, and scored a Merseyside derby goal at Goodison Park, so his tales naturally include Anfield legends and A-list events with Kenny Dalglish and the rest. Equally, though, his is an inspirational story for any budding footballer about just how far hard work and relentless dedication can take you if you are willing to put in the yards. Nick also opens up on the personal impact of his career-ending injury, along with his various ongoing struggles.
Nick has collaborated with Steve Cotton to write his life story. Steve has spent almost a decade as chief sports writer on the Bristol Post, reporting on Wembley finals with City and Rovers, Rugby World Cups and the Olympics. He has also been published extensively in the New York Times. Aged 13, he attended Nick Tanner's testimonial, sneaking into the players' bar for a picture with Robbie Fowler. He lives near Bristol with his wife and daughter.
