***Includes a new foreword by Gary Lineker about football in
lockdown*** Shortlisted for The Telegraph Sports Book Awards
'Lineker is nearly as good a presenter as I was a footballer' DIEGO
MARADONA 'Hilarious, almost as funny as me' ALAN SHEARER 'This is
Lineker unleashed. As a non-football nut I didn't expect to enjoy
it, but between laddish anecdotes are passages of sudden
tenderness. . . Lineker opens up, dislodging memories and
reflections, not just about football but his whole life.' THE TIMES

'Football is a simple game. 22 players chase a ball for 90 minutes,
and at the end the Germans always win.' This book is inspired by
the stories Danny and I have shared with each other about what life
in football is really like: in the dressing room, in the commentary
box, on the pitch and - with the appropriate pixellation - in the
showers afterwards. What's it really like to play with Messi? I
wouldn't know, but I have starred alongside him in an advert for
Walkers crisps. And, well, his performance was world-class. And
what is a life in football really like? You won't learn much from
the dull-as-dishwater post-match interviews - it's a world of
secrets, superstitions, laughs and personalities, and let me tell
you, half of it you won't believe. I've looked back at my playing
days, from England to Leicester, Everton to Barcelona, Tottenham
to, er, Nagoya Grampus Eight, and shared the chaotic
behind-the-scenes secrets of Match of the Day - and Danny has
chipped in with stories from a lifetime following the game as a
fan. From Italia '90 to Leicester's Premier League fairytale, from
yellow cards to World Cup trophies (I've never been awarded
either), from Gascoigne to Maradona, you'll find it all here -
everything you always wanted to know about football, but didn't
realise that you did. Inspired by the No.1 podcast Behind Closed
