How to Be a Footballer

Beschreibung

'Very funny on almost every page, wonderfully self-deprecating and very sharp on the ludicrous behaviour of the modern player' - Sunday Times<BR><BR>'The funniest man in British sport' - Metro<BR><BR>**A Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year**<BR>**Shortlisted for the National Book Awards**<BR>**Longlisted for the Telegraph Sports Book Awards Autobiography of the Year**<BR><BR>You become a footballer because you love football.

And then you are a footballer, and you're suddenly in the strangest, most baffling world of all. A world where one team-mate comes to training in a bright red suit with matching top-hat, cane and glasses, without any actual glass in them, and another has so many sports cars they forget they have left a Porsche at the train station. Even when their surname is incorporated in the registration plate.<BR><BR>So walk with me into the dressing-room, to find out which players refuse to touch a football before a game, to discover why a load of millionaires never have any shower-gel, and to hear what Cristiano Ronaldo says when he looks at himself in the mirror.<BR><BR>We will go into post-match interviews, make fools of ourselves on social media and try to ensure that we never again pay £250 for a haircut that should have cost a tenner.

We'll be coached and cajoled by Harry Redknapp, upset Rafa Benitez and be soothed by the sound of an accordion played by Sven-Goran Eriksson's assistant Tord Grip. There will be some very bad music and some very bad decisions.<BR><BR>I am Peter Crouch. This is How To Be A Footballer. Shall we?
