Still Scott Rennie

Still Scott Rennie is a football novel about a prodigy who arrived before he was ready and was judged before he could become. At seventeen, Scott Rennie bursts into the Premier League carrying the weight of hype, heritage, and a country's expectations, only to be reduced to a meme after one late mistake against Liverpool turns him into the symbol of everything that went wrong. Branded a "pace abuser" by the British media and exiled to the Championship, Scott smiles through interviews while privately accepting the verdict that he never belonged. As the noise fades and the crowds grow smaller, the novel follows a young man forced to confront who he is when talent isn't enough, belief is gone, and the world has already decided his ending - asking whether identity can survive public failure, and whether being still yourself is the hardest comeback of all.
