Welcome to My World

Description

Before she was Britain’s most famous footballer’s wife, she was a Liverpool schoolgirl. Coleen McLoughlin met the boy who would become Wayne Rooney when she was twelve; by her early twenties she was living a transformation most people only read about. Welcome to My World — her autobiography, released in March 2007 — tells that story in her own warm, candid words.

Born in Liverpool in 1986 and raised in a close-knit Irish family, Coleen stood by Rooney’s meteoric rise from Everton schoolboy to Manchester United and England icon — while carving out a career of her own, from a bestselling exercise DVD to her “Welcome to My World” column. It is fame from the inside: the glamour, the scrutiny, the staying grounded.

For celebrity-memoir readers and football fans. Honest, likeable, and very human. Straightforward, warm, and refreshingly free of score-settling.

Before she became Britain’s most famous footballer’s wife, Coleen McLoughlin was a down-to-earth Liverpool schoolgirl whose life changed forever when the boy she met at twelve became a global superstar. Welcome to My World — her autobiography, released in March 2007 — is the candid, warm-hearted story of that extraordinary transformation, told in her own words.

Born in Liverpool in 1986 and raised in a close-knit Irish family, Coleen met Wayne Rooney as a teenager and stood by him through his meteoric rise from Everton schoolboy to Manchester United and England icon. Along the way she carved out a career of her own: a bestselling exercise DVD, her “Welcome to My World” column for Closer magazine, and her ITV series Coleen’s Real Women, which championed real women over supermodels.
