At 6'4", and weighing in as one of football's heavyweights, Parkin has played more than 600 games during his time with Barnsley, Hartlepool, York, Macclesfield Town, Hull City, Stoke City, Preston, Cardiff, Doncaster, Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, Fleetwood, Forest Green, Newport County and back to York, where he is currently top scorer. This is his no-holds-barred life story.

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?

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
