The first truly insider guide to being a Premiership footballer, from Britain's funniest sporting icon.
Peter Crouch was a professional footballer for over 20 years. He scored over 100 Premier League goals, has 42 England caps and holds the record for the most headed goals in Premier League history. He's now a bestselling author, award-winning podcast host and champion of grassroots football.
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.

On his way to being a national treasure... most enjoyable

One of the funniest human beings on the planet
*Romesh Ranganathan*
Very funny on almost every page, wonderfully self-deprecating and
very sharp on the ludicrous behaviour of the modern player
*Sunday Times*
I’m not a big book reader, I’m just not. And I’ve skimmed through
this already and thought ‘I’m gonna really, really, really, really
like this. Seriously, I’m really gonna like it
*Chris Moyles*
I’ve never read a sports book before, but it is really funny
*Alex Jones*
