Personal Life
At the age of 17, Primus met future wife Trish through a mutual friend. After 18 months of the relationship, they decided to have a child which Primus' parents strongly disapproved of. The footballer himself said in his autobiography, "Up until then I had been the model son and had brought no trouble to their door, but now they were upset at what they saw as my rebellion". On November 1993, their first son Nathan was born. They also have a daughter called Atlanta, born in April 1997. Primus and Trish married on 9 June 1999. Their third child and second son, Cameron, was born in 2002.
In 2007, he released his autobiography, "Transformed", which was co-written by Peter Jeffs. The book received generally positive reviews: Christianity Magazine said the book was a "disarmingly honest account of Primus’s triumphs and struggles on and off the pitch" while FourFourTwo described it as "an antidote to the 'me-me-me' tales that weigh down the shelves" but rival football magazine When Saturday Comes was more critical, pointing out its "sometimes ungrammatical and often ponderous style" and going on to say " book is also full of cliches".

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“[The election] ... was an event in which, so far as the personal side is concerned, the victory was to him who lost and the defeat to him who won. I can say that never in the last fifteen years have I had the peace of mind that I have since the election. I have almost a feeling of elation.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
