Zu Beginn der Saison 1997/98 bekommt der VfB Stuttgart im Europapokal der Pokalsieger IB Vestmannaeyjar zugelost. Dieser Gegner hinterlässt im Schwabenland zunächst ratlose Gesichter. Ein Blick ins Lexikon hilft in der Vor-Google-Zeit auf die Sprünge: Der Club stammt von den Westmännerinseln, einem kleinen Archipel südlich der isländischen Küste. Weil das dortige Stadion die Sicherheitsanforderungen nicht erfüllt, wird die Erstrunden-Begegnung in die Hauptstadt Reykjavik verlegt.

Story
This enlightening biography – the first for 30 years – follows Gary Lineker’s career, from the school report which said, 'He concentrates too much on football’ to his phenomenal goalscoring record and development as a media personality. Through meticulous research and interviews with teammates and opponents, coaches, journalists and commentators, journalist Chris Evans reveals the inside stories and backroom anecdotes from his early days at Leicester City; the big-money moves to Everton and Tottenham Hotspur; and the highs and lows of spells at Barcelona and Nagoya Grampus Eight in Japan.
