Nicklas Bendtner

Nicklas Bendtner - begge sider

Amdi bliver til

Known as 'Lord Bendtner' to his fans and haters alike, Nicklas Bendtner has been lauded for his football skills at super clubs like Arsenal and Juventus. But his career was haunted by his rocky behaviour and tendency to self-sabotage. Very much a fable of the modern game, Bendtner talks with disarming honesty about the darker side of football and his own difficult fall from grace; about what it's like to have so much promise that you lose touch with reality altogether. It's is about growing up in a working class neighbourhood and what happens when you give a troubled, overconfident teen millions to spend. It's about fighting to reach the top in the worlds' toughest league but having no respect for hierarchy. It's about friendship, rivalry, and the constant quest for an adrenaline kick. It's about money - having too much of it - and an industry that has lost sight of what really matters. A modern footballing fable, it's a story of decline, temper, talent, great football and ultimately the tragedy of unfulfilled potential.

Not since the days of Paul McGrath's Back From The Brink have we seen such honesty on the page of a footballer's memoir. Fans of Paul Merson, George Best and Tony Adam's autobiographies will also find pure fascination here in a story that has gripped international readers...

The Bestselling Autobiography

Bendtner: Both Sides

Nr. 1 - Dansk Hiphopkultur Siden 1983

JAKOB VAR HER er historien om Jakob Ejersbo. En rodløs dreng, der hverken følte sig hjemme i Nordjylland eller Tanzania. En teenager, som desperat ledte efter kærlighed og en vej i livet. En ung mand, der fandt en ny familie i venner og bekendte fra Aalborgs underverden. JAKOB VAR HER er fortællingen om en skribent, som ingen længe troede på. En kompromisløs sjæl, der brændte broer i bestræbelserne på at gøre sine bøger så stærke og rå som muligt. En forfatter, der – på tærsklen til at se sit livsværk fuldbragt – blev stoppet af uhelbredelig sygdom. JAKOB VAR HER handler om børn, der flyttes rundt, til de ikke længere kan slå rødder. Om at tabe sit hjerte for foden af Afrikas højeste bjerg. Om ikke at kunne elske, før fortiden er skrevet ud af systemet. Om mennesker, der udnytter hinanden. Om virkelighed og fiktion, der smelter sammen, til ingen til sidst kan kende forskel. Om at ville noget i en grad, så kun døden kan komme i vejen.

VI VED JO HVORDAN DET ER AT VÆRE MENNESKE er et enestående kig ind i hoved, hjertekule og hylster på en af Danmarks mest markante, nysgerrige og alsidige skuespillere. Et opgør med den gamle traver om et fag, hvis aktører er for nærige og hemmelighedsfulde til at give noget af sig selv. Det er en bog om at gøre brug af andres fortælling – de virkelige væsners såvel som de fiktives. En bog om at tage sig selv op til revision. En bog om rollerne og om livet indimellem. En bog om det, vi har til fælles: At være menneske og historiefortæller. Den er en indsigt i at indleve sig.
