Summary
‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’
Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them?
When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football.
Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career.

Good listen
Good insight into what goes on behind the scenes at big football clubs. Would have been better if Micah was the narrator.

One of the best sporting autobiographies
A really in-depth and insightful autobiography into the world of a Premier League footballer. it provides a brilliant insight into the culture, the personalities and the motivations in the modern footballing world.

Different point of view
So nice to hear a player who wasn’t always at the top of the game talk about the harsh realities of the industry. Enjoyed the book, write some more, Micah!

Great book by a great guy.
Really good insight into the modern game of football. The narration slightly lets it down though. Michah’s humour doesn’t quite come across in the way it’s obviously intended. Would love to hear a version read by the man himself.
