A full obituary will follow.
“In 1976, I was a goalkeeper for Charlton Athletic and I had the world at my feet. Then in an instant my dreams were shattered by a career-ending collision seen by millions on TV. I’ve never publicly shared what happened next, until now.”
Never Give Up: The Graham 'Buster' Tutt Story is both laugh-out-loud funny and heart-achingly sad. It speaks not just to athletes but to anyone who has suffered a major setback in their life.
