Jermaine Pennant has lifted the lid on his extraordinary career, detailing how he earned a move to Premier League heavyweights Arsenal before later overcoming a prison sentence to return to the sport while at Birmingham City among his tales.

Pennant was widely tipped as the greatest player of his generation - making his debut as a professional at the age of 15 at Notts County, then of the Second Division which is now League One.

In January 1999, the winger made headlines when he joined Arsenal in a £2million deal without his agent's consent.
