Life, Laughs and Football

This is Lineker unleashed. As a non-football nut I didn’t expect to enjoy it, but between laddish anecdotes are passages of sudden tenderness. Lineker recalls deathbed conversations with his father, Barry, a Leicester market trader who’d taken him and his childhood team-mates to matches in his fruit and veg van. The process seems to have acted as a sort of talking therapy for Lineker, opening him up, dislodging memories and reflections, not just about football but his whole life. – Janice Turner * THE TIMES *Gary Lineker and Danny Baker relate stories both honest and hilarious about the world of football. * SUNDAY EXPRESS *Without doubt, it’s one of the funniest books around. * FourFourTwo *Is there anything Gary Lineker can’t do? * RADIO TIMES *This personal and often hilarious book is the perfect gift for any footie fanatic. * OK!
