A Life Too Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke
Paperback Published on: 03/05/2012
£12.99
Synopsis
Robert Enke hoped to write his life story with his good friend Ronald Reng. Tragically, Reng was left with the task of writing the book alone after Enke took his own life after battling severe depression throughout his career. A poignant elegy to a friend, A Life Too Short is surely one of the most deserving winners ever of the William Hill sports prize. There are moments in the book which make you cringe knowing what eventual outcome they will contribute to. For all the tragedy, the fact the book focuses on depression in football must be a positive thing and it must be hoped it has helped others cope in some small way. A poignant tale of friendship and tragedy. Wonderful writing.
