British footballer Mark Bright spent his childhood in foster care. Though he was well looked after, no one told him they loved him until he was 18. Meanwhile, he was becoming a star striker and his heyday was at Crystal Palace. He's just published his autobiography, Mark Bright – My Story – From Foster Care to Footballer.
