The Game

Player. Pundit. Fan.

De: Micah Richards

Narrado por: Delon Jessop

‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’

Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them?

When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football.

Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career.

Great insight to being a footballer

This was a great book. It’s only hamstrung by Micah not reading the book. He has such a distinct voice that it’s hard to hear somebody else read it.

Entertaining most times. Poor narration.

Would have been way better if Micah had voiced it. Interesting off the pitch tales.

Great snapshots and insights

Great snapshots and insights of what goes on in a professional footballers life behind the scenes.

Not Micah Richards but Great Narration

When someone like Micah Richards comes out with a book, you expect him to narrate.

I always prefer the author to narrate. Especially when the author is Micah Richards.

That said, this was probably the best narrator he could have chosen.

I loved this book. Football autobiographies are my favorite type of book but Micah managed to put a different spin on the typical autobiography.

Fun, funny and insightful

Nice production and a good choice of voice to read it. Well worth a listen for anyone from a fan to an aspiring player.
