Tracie and Dean are the Posh and Becks of Luton Town FC - him as captain of the team, her as queen of the WAGs. A veteran with some 12 (shhhh) years experience, Tracie knows all there is to know about being a footballer's wife, and is happy to help the new, inexperienced girls find their way through a maze of fake tan, killer heels and skirts so short they'd show your pants if you were actually wearing any. When one of these newbies suggests she publish her wisdom she initially dismisses the idea - she's a WAG, not a writer - but with a little encouragement she soon finds herself in a brand new world of blogs, magazine columns and TV appearances.

|comment= This book was brilliant. I loved it. There were parts of it that were so funny that I couldn't quite believe it. I loved Nell and the old people in the old people's home. I loved the idea of Dean's career slipping away, and Tracie trying to build him up, and I just loved all the funny moments - the hair in the car door, her cooking efforts, losing Gladys in the middle of London. All briliiant. Most of all, though, I loved Tracie Martin - I thought she was a genius comic character. Please tell me they are going to make a film of this. Fab!!!!!!!! PS I love this site!
