A decent autobiography, although did seem rather short! Narrator as always is good but accent is not Barnsley.

Honesty

Well narrated, some belting stories, was literally laughing out loud at times. Well worth it for any genuine football fan.

Brilliant

A very amusing audiobook that anyone a fan of the 'under the cosh' podcast would enjoy. As you'd expect it's a humorous book which touches on Jon's career and stories off the field.

If you're looking for a serious football autobiography this may not be for you, but if you're a football fan who enjoys lad humour then you'll enjoy it - as I did.

Entertaining

Not bad

Wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not cause he can be a bit irritating on his podcast (Undr the cosh) but it was very good and any football supporter will enjoy it.

Pie head

What a listen

I’m not sure if I’m loosing my marbles but I’ll hear the same part of the book repeat every now and again, happens at least 8 times in the book, might just be me?

Great book regardless

Good book but certain parts repeat?
