Leading From The Back

With 121 caps for the Lionesses, Steph Houghton has been at the heart of the women's football revolution. In her inspiring memoir Leading From The Back, Steph recounts the highs and lows of making it to the top of her game as England Captain, star of London 2012, and Man City stalwart, via Sunderland, Leeds and Arsenal.


Inside, she shares her dreams of becoming professional as a young girl in Sunderland and how reaching that status has been a long and difficult path, both on and off the pitch, especially her husband Stephen Darby's devastating motor neurone disease (MND) diagnosis.


A remarkable journey of unwavering determination that reveals the grit needed to stay true to yourself - this is the full and incredible story of sports pioneer 'Super Steph'.
