Description

THE SMASH HIT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Winner of Autobiography of the Year at the 2024 Sports Book Awards

‘Everyone loves Kammy . . . Full of humour and endless blunders’ – The Times
‘What a man, what a life, what a story and what a great read’ – Paddy
McGuinness

Presenter, commentator, (sometimes masked) singer, footballer, manager and campaigner, Kammy has done it all. His irrepressible enthusiasm – and a couple of legendary gaffes on Sky Sports – have seen him become broadcasting royalty.

Now Kammy reveals all in this funny and moving autobiography. What happens when you double-cross José Mourinho? What’s it like to play with Vinnie Jones? Who comes off better: Kammy or a rampaging gorilla? How did Kammy end up releasing his own top-ten record? What’s the real story behind his infamous line, ‘I don’t know, Jeff!’?

But, despite the crazy tales, it hasn’t all been plain sailing. Kammy had a tough upbringing, faced racism during his playing career and has, in recent years, dealt with a rare brain condition – apraxia – that has affected his speech and saw him say goodbye to Sky Sports. Sharing the details of his battle against the condition, Kammy shows how he’s met every challenge with courage, determination and that trademark infectious smile.

Packed with hilarious stories and featuring a cast of famous names, from Elton John to Channing Tatum, this is a book about friendship, courage and why it’s always important to have a good laugh.

‘A talented (and daft) lad from the Boro who has entertained the nation for decades, on and off the pitch. So get the tissues ready – this book will make you laugh and cry in equal measure’ – Steph McGovern
