Summary
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.

Couldn’t stop listening!
I chose this because I sm a big fan of Alan’s show and his reading of his autobiography is full of his infectious enthusiasm. Some great stories and explains the culture of his Glaswegian upbringing really well. Alan is free with his opinions and it’s refreshing reading something which hasnt been toned down. Ideal for any if his listeners or true football fans! Thanks Alan!

What a life he has had
Thoroughly enjoyed every second of it, didn’t want it to end. I’m sure he has more stories to tell too

Very entertaining and funny
Great listen and love his views. Not only will you want to meet him (not For more than 2 hours as you won’t be able to keep up!), it’s also aspirational. Very entertaining and funny
