About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious, no-holds-barred autobiography from sporting legend and broadcaster Alan Brazil.

As Alan recounts tales from his extraordinary life, he relives the sporting occasions, radio broadcasts and famously long drinking sessions that have defined his career. He takes listeners inside the talkSPORT studio for a behind-the-scenes view of his most memorable interviews and talks for the first time about the on-pitch rivalries and dressing-room debriefs of his footballing career.

With his typically outspoken and irreverent delivery, Alan shares everything from his thoughts on how the sports he loves have changed to his top tips for picking winners (and many losers) at Cheltenham. And he revels in wine-soaked jaunts in the South of France and late-night supermarket sweeps with Ray Parlour - if you can keep up.

Packed full of never-before-told stories, refreshing appraisals, sporting controversy and a cast of larger-than-life characters, this is a brutally honesty and wickedly funny insight into an extraordinary life.

The most enjoyable audiobook I’ve listened to.
Having listened to Alan on the radio for years I couldn’t wait for this to be released and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Lots of great stories and laughs I could listen for hours and hours to him speak and would love to sit down and a have a few bottles of the old vino with him. 🍾

Absolutely fantastic well done Big Man
