Description

Thomas Gravesen was one of the last footballing mavericks, once dubbed 'a grenade with the pin pulled out'.

Hailing from rural Denmark, he fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a top player but never lost his unique identity, earning a reputation for his bizarre antics and eyebrow-raising behaviour.

Gravesen lined up for Real Madrid's glamorous Galacticos and enjoyed colourful spells at European giants Hamburg, Everton and Celtic.

Remembered as a cult hero at all of his past clubs, he is a truly fascinating individual.

After abruptly ending his career and disappearing, he re-emerged years later in bizarre circumstances in Las Vegas.

Did he really lose $54 million at cards? Did he really bring dynamite to training, and spend his summers in a dark basement?

Known as a 'unicorn' due to his mysterious life, this is a fascinating, helter-skelter journey into the mind of 'Mad Dog'.

Team-mates, coaches and friends recount what it was like to be swept up in the surreal whirlwind of the most unorthodox individual they've ever encountered.
