The first truly insider guide to being a Premiership footballer, from Britain's funniest sporting icon.
First things first- yes I am very tall, no the weather isn't different up here, and no I don't play basketball. Glad that's out the way. I've been a professional footballer for 20 years, have 42 England caps, have scored over 100 Premier League goals and hold the record for the most headed goals in Premier League history. In my time I've been promoted, relegated, won trophies, gone months without scoring, been bought, sold, loaned and abused - and I've loved almost every moment of it.
However overpaid and preening you might assume Premier League
footballers to be, think again. They're worse, according to this
amusing insider's account * Sunday Times Sports Book of the
Year *
Who knew that a footballer could be funny? ... What you
realise, as you laugh out loud, is that football has been taken too
seriously by too many people for too long... Most other football
books wither by comparison * Daily Mail Sports Book of the Year

As someone who's been there, done it and got the ill-fitting
T-shirt, Crouch is well placed to shed light on the bizarre
world of the modern player in a funny, down-to-earth way... He
made his name on the pitch ... but with this book, Crouch proves he
is a good sport off it, too. -- Jade Craddock * Sun *
