David White is a former professional footballer, who played for Manchester City from 1985 to 1993
Both David White and Joanne Lake will be available to discuss Shades of Blue. David is particularly keen to raise awareness of abuse-related issues within the world of football.
Like genre-defining titles before it, such as A Life Too Short, Beware of the Dog, and indeed I’m Not Really Here, this is a book will appeal to fans of football and non-fans alike
Includes a 16pp colour plate section
David White was born on 30 October 1967 in Manchester, England. A former professional footballer, he played as a forward from 1986 to 1997. He is best remembered for his eight-year spell at Manchester City. He also played for Leeds and Sheffield United, and was capped once by England.
Joanne Lake is a ghostwriter whose first book, I’m Not Really Here (the story of ex-Manchester City footballer Paul Lake) became a Sunday Times best seller and was voted FourFourTwo’s Football Book of the Year. In 2016 she collaborated with World Cup referee Howard Webb on his autobiography, The Man In the Middle, after which she joined forces with former Manchester City and Leeds United winger David White to create his memoir, Shades of Blue. While she specialises in sport, Jo also enjoys working with individuals from the world of music, comedy, drama and politics. She lives in south Manchester with her husband, her two kids and her crazy cat.
