The hilarious memoir from the funniest man in football! Roddy Collins is a football man - now in the sixth decade of a career as a player (at sixteen clubs), manager (twelve clubs) and commentator. And he is a funny man: an unequalled raconteur with a sharp eye for the absurdities of the professional game and spectacular recall. He has made friends wherever he has gone, along with some high-quality enemies. When John Delaney said he could get Roddy a job if he' d just stop criticising him, Roddy replied that he' d ' rather dig holes in the road' . Now, with the brilliant Paul Howard, Roddy puts it all down on paper for the first time - the adventures, the rows and the craic - in what will be not only one of the funniest but one of the most eye-opening books ever written about professional football.
Roddy Collins (Author) Roddy Collins grew up in Cabra, on the north side of Dublin. In his long career as a player and then manager, he was often injured, many times sacked, and constantly on the move - but somehow always on the right side of football history. Now a beloved pundit and football personality, Roddy Collins lives in Dublin with his family. Paul Howard (Author) Paul Howard is a journalist, author and comedy writer best known as the creator of the No 1 bestselling Ross O' Carroll-Kelly series. He has won a record four Irish Book Awards and is a former Irish Sports Journalist of Year and Irish Newspaper Columnist of the Year.
