The fascinating story of gifted Wolves player Peter Knowles. Sensationally quitting footballer after becoming a Jehovah's Witness, just a few days short of his 24th birthday, this is a compelling story of a young man who turned his back on football fame.

The story of Peter Knowles is unique. The gifted good-looking Wolves and England under-23 midfielder seemed to have the world at his talented feet. He was tipped to be the English George Best but sensationally quit football.

He was just a few days short of his 24th birthday when he quit to become a Jehovahs Witness. Despite the pleas of his club, the players, friends, fans and family, Knowles would not change his mind and has always said it was the best thing he ever did.

In 'God's Footballer' Steve Gordos, recalls the shock waves created by Knowles' decision and traces the rise to fame of this son of a Yorkshire miner, who became an idol to fans, old and young, male and female.

The book details all the matches that Knowles played for Wolves and includes tributes and recollections from his team-mates and from fans. There are also team line-ups for each match of his first-team career.

About the Author

Steve Gordos was born in Bilston and has been a Wolves fan virtually all his life. He began his journalistic career with the Wellington Journal and Shrewbury News but spent the rest of his working life with the Express & Star.

During his many years on the Sports Desk of the Express & Star, Steve acquired a deep knowledge of Wolves' history. Before he retired in 2003, he had been Sports Editor for eight years.

He still writes in the Wolves' matchday magazine and in 2009 he was invited to be on the committee to choose the first inductees into Wolves' newly-created Hall of Fame.

I had an interview with Simon
Format: Kindle
I didn't get the job, but I did find his book extremely useful. During my interview, I failed to explain a complex financial concept in way that was easy to understand. Simon does not have this problem. The book was easy to follow and motivated me to drive idea generation within the company I currently work for. I would recommend this book to start ups or innovation officers as I have already seen results.

Excellent reference for industry
Format: Hardcover
Brilliant handbook for anyone involved in project management work at any level, but particularly for those with a strategic angle. Quickly dispelled the notion that I've been employing best practice, and pointed me in the right direction about putting together a more effective project selection process. The author clearly has a great deal of working experience of portfolio management, and that means that rather than being a dry text it's a very practical guide. Highly recommended.

Expansive and accessible
Format: Hardcover
This book broadened my thinking on project management within business. It highlights the portfolio angle, and relevant topics like how to drive adoption/usage and broad idea capture. The case studies bring things to life as well as the `list based' approach to best practices. I'd recommend it for someone who wants to understand the latest thinking in the project and portfolio management field and tie it back to business value and business strategy.
