**A Daily Mail Book of the Year**
What happens on the pitch is only half the story.
Being a footballer is not just kicking a ball about with twenty-one 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 footballâs 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 youâre 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 Baleâs magic beans, the Golden Rhombus of Saturday night
entertainment, and why Crouchyâs dad walks his dog wearing an England tracksuit
from 2005.
Whether youâre an armchair expert, or out in the stands every Saturday, crazy
for five-a-side or havenât put on a pair of boots since school, this is the
real inside story of how to be a footballer.
