Yeovil Town player Michael McIndoe releases explosive new autobiography
Former professional footballer, Michael McIndoe is now probably best known for allegedly being the mastermind behind the biggest case of fraud to hit the British game. But what really happened to all those so-called missing millions? For the first time ever, the controversial Scotsman speaks out in his new book - Wildling.
Raised on the notorious Calders estate in Edinburgh, McIndoe battled through drugs and violent gang life during the 1990s until he was forced to make a choice between a turbulent lifestyle and his love for the game. He pursued his dream and got his first footballing apprenticeship with Luton Town but not long after he turned pro, McIndoe’s alcohol addiction caught up with him.
After a stint in the Priory, and Paul Merson as his sponsor, the left-winger went on to play in excess of 500 matches for ten English football clubs, including Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bristol City, Barnsley, Derby County, Coventry City and Yeovil Town. The complex character is infamous for his honest appraisals and McIndoe certainly doesn’t hold back when it comes to revealing his experiences with some very well known managers and teammates.
Since leaving football, hundreds of articles have been printed about Michael McIndoe, but he has maintained his silence until now. McIndoe opens up about Marbella, London nightclubs, bankruptcy and the Scotland Yard investigation. Wildling, is his explosive life story…
Michael said: “I am extremely excited to have released my new book and let people read the true story. The media have had such an avid interest in my life that I think it’s about time I set the record straight.”
