Thrills, Spills & Belly Laughs

A riotous peek into the off-beat world of one of football's most recognisable characters, Jon Parkin.�The much-travelled journeyman striker played for more than 20 clubs during a career that stretched over two decades, and he has since become a co-host of the hugely popular�Undr the Cosh�podcast. Known as 'The Beast' due to his height and weight, this gentle giant has a mischievous and irrepressible sense of humour that has won him thousands of fans.�Now, Parkin turns his focus to the world of football and celebrity in his own inimitable way. With more than 100 stand-along anecdotes, observations and the occasional rant, Parkin has created a football book for ages, destined to poke fun at The Beautiful Game, the people who run it and the world in general. With Parky, everything is on the table in a hilarious, sideways look at football and the wonderful characters he's come across so far.
