‘Compelling, entertaining . . . Southgate articulated a moral vision that was beyond anything attempted by a generation of British politicians. ’

Guardian

‘A tremendous book’

Chris Evans

‘What is remarkable is the insight it offers into Southgate’s psychology and motivation: what sustained him through the darkest times and enabled him to become an exemplary leader’

The Times

'Southgate saw a bigger picture ... Dear England feels like the testament of a man who has been there'

i Paper

‘You are left with an understanding of a man who has unusual personal strengths: that emotional intelligence, that integrity which underpinned so much of what he did, the courage to make decisions and the resilience required to stand by them.'

Sunday Times Magazine

‘A beautiful book … I really recommend it’

Rory Stewart

‘A leadership manual’

Alastair Campbell

'The position of England football manager was once considered to be the "impossible job". But Gareth Southgate succeeded by doing things differently, as he explains in this part memoir, part handbook on leadership. He used his platform to address much more than football — identity, belonging, the nation, patriotism… he provides fascinating insight into how he used adversity to "build resilience" and how he changed the culture of the England team.
