The Lionesses Roar Again - The story of how England Won the Euros twice in a row - Phil Woods

Phil Woods started his book rating in 1992, with his friend Steve Smith. It wasn’t until 2009 when their first book was published, Beat About the Bush - The funny side of language, a book influenced by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. The book looks at the funny things that we say day in, day out. This book reached number one on an Amazon chart in November 2009. His second publication was a children’s book called Grump Goes Shopping, a character that Phil has often said is potentially his alter ego. Phil then built a website called The Daily Skid - the mark of excellence. He wrote a new satire news story every day for two years. He wrote a lot of these stories with his co-author Steve Smith, they released a book with 75 of the most popular stories from the website. Following this Phil turned his eyes to something new, he became editor of two motorsport magazines, and was a writer for Formula One. There was a gap until 2025 when he released the popular ‘The Racing Biography of Lewis Hamilton, that was in March 2025. Phil had no further plans for books as he was concentrating on rewriting a script called Valentine, he was writing this for TV. Then he got caught up in the joy of watching the England Lionesses when Euro 25, the second Euro trophy in a row. Following them lifting the trophy on Sunday, Phil spent 48 hours non-stop, without sleep, and wrote the story of the Lionesses from the beginning of the Sarina Wiegman era, taking England to 3 major finals in a row. Potentially this is one of the quickest books ever written. Phil is a father of three and lives in North Wales. Hailing originally from the Wirral.
