Roy Massey has collaborated with Mark Metcalf to write his life story. Football historian Mark is the author of numerous books on the beautiful game, including the authorised biography of Charlie Hurley, Flying Over an Olive Grove: The Remarkable Story of Fred Spiksley, Manchester United 1907-11 and The Origins of the Football League: The First Season 1888/89. He has written for the Sunday Mirror and worked for the PFA.

"A fascinating memoir, Roy recalls signing a boy called Harry Kane but ultimately deciding he did not have what it took to make it at the top level... 'Nobody on the staff argued that I was making a mistake.' Indeed, it took so long for anyone to recognise the potential of England's record goalscorer that Tottenham also let him go, taking him back only after he impressed playing against them for Watford's academy team."
