I’m not sure if I’m loosing my marbles but I’ll hear the same part of the book repeat every now and again, happens at least 8 times in the book, might just be me?

Great book regardless

Good book but certain parts repeat?

Loved this book and Jonathan Keebles narration made even better. Also love the way he loves Phil Brown as much as me .

A very amusing audiobook that anyone a fan of the 'under the cosh' podcast would enjoy. As you'd expect it's a humorous book which touches on Jon's career and stories off the field.

If you're looking for a serious football autobiography this may not be for you, but if you're a football fan who enjoys lad humour then you'll enjoy it - as I did.

Entertaining
