Description: At the age of 17, Curtis Woodhouse made his debut for his local club, Sheffield United, and quickly went from earning £42 a week to £4000 a week. Suddenly he felt like a rock star, and began living like one - which didn't help his football. Initially, there wasn't a problem, and he earned four England under-21 caps, playing alongside the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. As his drinking increased and he began getting involved in fights, he was sold to Birmingham City at 20 and saw his wages double - but so did his problems and he fell out of love with the game. He was determined to become a boxer. Packed with stories and honest insight, 'Box to Box' shows how anyone can achieve their dreams if they work hard enough.
