This is the most truthful and hilarious book about professional football you will ever read. Perry Groves was the first signing by the legendary Arsenal manager George Graham, and that unmistakeable figure with his Tin-Tin haircut and cheeky grin was a player in one of the Gunners' greatest sides. Now, he has decided to tell all about his rollercoaster years of booze binges, girl-chasing and gambling sprees. He's a non-stop fund of hilarious anecdotes, recounting top-flight games played with a hangover, 125 mph motorway chases with international stars, visits to a brothel with an England World Cup hero and revealing how one drunken escapade ended with a group of internationals being questioned over an attempted murder charge. This is a unique chance to find out what top-flight footballers really get up to off the field and how they behave when the dressing room door is closed.

As it’s nearly Halloween I couldn’t think of a more appropriate book to review. Not because this is particularly haunting or anything, but because there’s definitely a ghost around-the bloke who obviously wrote it! From the little I do know about Perry Groves before I read this enjoyable autobiography was that he probably couldn’t even write his name, let alone this hilarious football book that sold surprisingly well over the summer. Therefore at least half the credit should go to co-writer John McShane. The dust cover also bellows plenty of acclaim, The Guardian hack saying its: “bloody brilliant’, The Telegraph coming back with: “A Publishing phenomena”. The more ...
