He turned professional with his boyhood club but suffered the heartbreak of being released when he was 19.A move to Exeter City provided the opportunity to play first-team football under World Cup-winner Alan Ball before a serious back injury ended Tonge's football career at the age of just 22. After feeling completely lost, Tonge rebuilt his life by reinvesting in his education. He achieved numerous academic qualifications, culminating in a PhD, alongside a successful career as a university lecturer.From Red to Read is the inspirational story of a man in a fight he couldn't win, who found an alternative route to success and happiness.
