Autobiographies

Whilst we are specialists in official illustrated books, we also have a great track record working with leading sports figures to produce their autobiographies.

From former England rugby captain Lewis Moody to cricketers Mark Ramprakash and Henry Olonga and footballers Ricky Villa, Martin Chivers, Cliff Jones, Iwan Roberts and Louis Saha to name just a few, our understanding of what makes a great sports book has translated into numerous bestselling titles that always do justice to each individual's unique story.

"Writing a book about your life and career in and around football is something you can only do once. So you have to make sure it is done well and accurately tells your story. Vision Sports Publishing helped me write a book that told my story the way I wanted it to be told so it reflected exactly who I am. They then worked hard with me to promote and sell it, consequently 8 years on supporters are still buying it!"

Steve Perryman - A Spur Forever

Steve Perryman A Spur Forever

A special player requires a special autobiography. For Tottenham Hotspur's record appearance maker we produced a full colour book that mixed insightful text with fantastic photographs of his playing career and his unique collection of memorabila.

The larger than average size of the book allowed us to do justice to the evocative imagery while also allowing fans to read all about Steve's career - the resulting product was instantly recognised as being of 'high quality'.
