About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What happens on the pitch is only half the story.

Being a footballer is not just kicking a ball about with 21 other people on a big grass rectangle. Sometimes being a footballer is about accidentally becoming best mates with Mickey Rourke, or understanding why spitting is considered football's most heinous crime.

In How to be a Footballer, Peter Crouch took us into a world of bad tattoos and even worse haircuts, a world where you're on the pitch one minute, spending too much money on a personalised number plate the next. In I, Robot, he lifts the lid even further on the beautiful game. We will learn about Gareth Bale's magic beans, the Golden Rhombus of Saturday night entertainment and why Crouchy's dad walks his dog wearing an England tracksuit from 2005.

Whether you're an armchair expert or out in the stands every Saturday, crazy for five-a-side or haven't put on a pair of boots since school, this is the real inside story of how to be a footballer, brilliantly narrated by Crouchy himself.

Loved every second of Crouchy's newest audiobook. An interesting listen from an interesting player, a fantastic role-model and humble human-being. Being a Stoke fan, it was interesting to hear some of the goings-on through the good years and the bad years. Hopefully not the last audiobook I listen to from Peter, that being said I don't know if there's much more he could talk about!

Eye opening, funny and interesting

I absolutely loved the first book and this was as good if not better. I got quite emotional as he talked about his career ending. He talked about his career with such love, from the point of a fan more than a player. Brilliant piece of work.
