Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
What happens on the pitch is only half the story.
Being a footballer is not just kicking a ball about with 21 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 football's 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 you're 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 Bale's magic beans, the Golden Rhombus of Saturday night entertainment and why Crouchy's dad walks his dog wearing an England tracksuit from 2005.
Whether you're an armchair expert or out in the stands every Saturday, crazy for five-a-side or haven't put on a pair of boots since school, this is the real inside story of how to be a footballer, brilliantly narrated by Crouchy himself.

Another great book
Just finished, enjoyed the book similar to his first book. Few bits over lapped odd story told in both. All in all would recommend

Crouch does it again
He perfectly blends his football knowledge with natural charisma. An ideal read for any football fan.

More from a good storyteller (and maker)
breeze though more footballing stories that tell you about how the author views life and other people far more than a particular game or club.

You don’t have to be a football fan to enjoy this
Peter writes honestly, openly and in an way that entertains and gives the listener a down to earth view of “the beautiful game”.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Crouchy has done another good job with this one. I like the way he’s structured the chapters and tells some good stories. Well read too.

Good listen, but nothing particularly outstanding
The podcast provides better anecdotes and stories, it's ok, but not as good as first
