520    Diagnosed with leukaemia in November 2008, Chris Todd 
       tells the story of this period of his life in diary form. 
       It is a personal, honest and often humorous account of a 
       leukaemia sufferer's battle with this life-threatening 
       disease, and also of Chris's career as a whole.As the 
       weeks and months go by, Toddy relates what can only be 
       described as an epic journey: being told his football 
       career would have to be put on hold; his failure to regain
       a place in the Torquay United team on his return to 
       action; his loan spell to Salisbury and subsequent return 
       to Torquay; getting back to the first team and then 
       topping-off a truly remarkable few months by gaining 
       promotion to League Two with the Gulls with their victory 
       over Cambridge at Wembley.This book, though, is about more
       than football. Todd explains, in great detail, the effects
       the disease had not only on his football career, but other
       aspects of his life, especially in terms of his immediate 
       family and friends – not least his wife Gemma. He never 
       looks for sympathy – instead he aims to inspire. They say 
       football is a game of two halves: well so is life.
