Foreword by Ben Shephard 'What a man, what a life, what a story, and what a great read' - Paddy McGuinness Presenter, commentator, (sometimes masked) singer, footballer, manager an d 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 Jose Mourinho? What it's like to play with Vinnie Jones - and play against him? 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 amazing 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 seen him say goodbye to Sky Sports. Relating his battle against the condition, Kammy shows how he's met every challenge with courage, determination and his 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 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 Show more
