As a football-mad young boy growing up in rural Shropshire, within
sight of the Welsh border, Dave Edwards dreamt of playing the game
professionally and perhaps, one day, of wearing the red shirt of his
father's homeland - Wales. Living My Dream is the frank and
fascinating story of just what it took for Edwards to achieve his
life's ambition, and describes how his dedication and commitment to
the game he loves has enabled him to enjoy a successful 16-year career
with over 400 club appearances for Shrewsbury, Luton, Wolves and
Reading, spanning the top five English divisions from the Conference
to the Premier League. Woven into the story of his club career, Living
My Dream is also a behind-the-scenes account of Dave's brave recovery,
after a serious injury in January 2016, to make the starting line-up
in Wales' opening game at that summer's European Championships, and
his magical month inside the Welsh camp when the team exceeded all
expectations to reach the semi-finals. The first member of the Welsh
squad to tell the inside story of life at the Euros, Edwards reveals
how the players thrived within the camp's 'bubble' and forged an
unbreakable team spirit, how Chris Coleman managed his squad with
meticulous planning and inspirational leadership, and how the Together
Stronger ethos was spurred on by the passion and pride of an entire
nation.
