Translating a footballer's autobiography (2010)

It is almost tradition, especially in Great Britain, for great sportsmen and sportswomen to publish an autobiography after, or sometimes even during, their careers. The majority of these works only appear in English, as not all British sportspersons are well-known abroad. Only the autobiographies of the greatest and most famous athletes are translated into other languages. For example, the autobiographies of Pelé, Tiger Woods, Maradona and David Beckham have all been translated into Dutch. Someone who, in my opinion, deserves the same status as these famous men is Gordon Banks, one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of football. However, his autobiography Banksy, which he wrote with the assistance of Les Scott, has never been published in Dutch.
