Sigmund, Ben,

Fully committed : the Ben Sigmund story / Ben Sigmund ; as told to Jason Pine ; foreword by Ryan Nelsen. - [New Zealand] Ben Sigmund, 2016. - 274 pages illustrations (chiefly colour)

t’s a story about sport, life and never giving up. Ben
Sigmund was born in Blenheim, raised in Canterbury and
played for the full All Whites side when he was still a
teenager. An illustrious football career beckoned – and
was eventually achieved – but it was anything but smooth
sailing. At one stage, football wasn’t something he even
liked, let alone loved. It drove him away, tempted him
back and then ignited a passion which saw him pursue his
dream to become a professional at the Wellington Phoenix,
where he went on to become the beating heart of New
Zealand’s only professional football club. “Fully
Committed” is the fascinating story of an ordinary kiwi
bloke who overcame obstacles and setbacks both on and off
the pitch to become an icon in New Zealand football.
