About this listen

Troy Deeney is best known as Watford FC's captain and a thorn in Arsenal's side. But behind the successful and gritty football persona is a remarkable story of resilience.

In this brutally honest and inspirational memoir, Troy shares what it was like to grow up on Europe's largest council estate, where his mum worked three jobs and his father, a notorious drug dealer, was frequently in and out of prison.

He shares stories of self-sabotage, from simply not turning up to Aston Villa's football trials as a teenager, playing while drunk to being imprisoned for affray at the height of his career.

But Troy never gave up, even when it meant playing professional football with an ankle tag. He went on to score 20+ goals in three successive seasons and became the club captain, an FA Cup finalist, promotion winner and Watford's record scorer. He also became an outspoken player advocate and - in an age of bland footballer interviews - is a sought-after voice on football and footballers today.

Engaging, endearing and insightful, this audiobook is where Troy comes to terms with his turbulent past.

Brilliant book, a great insight into Troy’s up bringing and rise to the premier league.

Brilliant!

Great book and personal story Only minor complaint is reader’s poor pronunciation of footballers’ names!

Huge admiration for Troy Deeney

If you can look beyond the narrator who’s voice couldn’t be further from that of Troy Deeney, this was a great listen. It has points where you will laugh out loud and some dark parts which will move you.
What an incredible journey this man has been on, a gritty no nonsense life story told with brutal honesty, humour and balance.

I would recommend.

Excellent

Brilliant story but the narrator really could have done with learning the name of the footballers mentioned given it’s a football book.

Good book, poorly narrated

I was thoroughly enthralled throughout this book. The story of Troy's struggles through childhood was amazing to hear considering what he achieved.
However, there are some very cringeworthy pronunciations of player names and football terms in this book. I really wish Troy had vetted the audio version. Its made me question the professionalism of the Narrator to not have done his research and has really put me off ever buying an audio book that is read by Oliver Cudbill again.

Fantastic story! Very Poor Narrator

Loved this book, nice change from the ghost written load of hype and garbage most footballers talk about.

Top book

Enjoyed listening to this although it was slightly repetitive in some areas, needed a closer edit.
No mention of him publicly dumping his long suffering wife, who had stood by him whilst incarcerated, for a younger model. I wonder if he has redeemed himself for that.

Poor narration slightly lets it down.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Found the honesty and openness regarding mistakes made refreshing.
Also grasping the second chance given to him to then go on and perform at the top level of football and be a leader is testament to his redemption.
A great listen.

Honest, Open and engaging throughout.

Either everyone else is pronouncing people's names wrong or the narrator is not a football fan. KRO

I gave this 5 stars as it was much more interesting listen than I though it would be.
Some powerful messages at the end

Fascinating listen and not just for a football fan
