Wirral Born Authors England Lionesses Book Hits the Sports Top 10 Best Sellers

WIRRAL, U.K. - Aug. 14, 2025 - PRLog -- Phil Woods, author of the popular book The Racing Biography of Lewis Hamilton wrote a book charting the success of England's Lionesses at Euro 2025 last Sunday, within just two days. The book was completed by the Tuesday following the Final in Basel Switzerland where heroic England beat World Champions Spain for back to back Euro triumphs. The book became an immediate success by breaking into the Top 10 Best Selling Sports Books Chart.

The gripping read looks at the last three major tournaments, Euro 22, The World Cup 23 and Euro 25, all finals featuring Sarina Wiegman's England. Phil Woods of Connah's Quay, Flintshire (born in Hoylake, Wirral) said, "I had the idea for the book as the final penalty was taken in Basel, and wanted to be the first to get such a book out." He went on to say, "I spent Monday and Tuesday furiously writing, not even giving myself time to sleep."

Phil has traditionally written comedy or Formula One, being former editor of two motorsport magazines and his latest book 'The Racing Biography of Lewis Hamilton'. To write about football is a bit of a departure, but the Tranmere Rovers fan has formally written extensively about the club he supports. The book 'The Lionesses Roar Again' celebrates more than the two Euro wins, it also looks at the World Cup and the lead up to these moments, including the near misses until Sarina Wiegman took over.

On writing the book so fast, Phil Woods said "I'm sure people have written to tight deadlines and fast before, but I seriously doubt books have been written in 48 hours. I hope that people enjoy looking back over at these wonderful moments, they should never be forgotten and now I hope they won't with the release of this book."

On reaching the top 10 best selling sports books, the Tranmere fan and author Phil Woods said. "It's crazy, over the years I must've written a milliobe of words, it's amazing to see the hard work finally coming off." He added, "The next step is to aim for that number one spot, it would make me incredibly proud to be able to add that to the book cover."
