Michael Parkinson recalls his sporting life in this amusing memoir full of personality, anecdotes and insight.

This exciting new autobiography charts legendary broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson's love of cricket, football and family throughout his life.

Reflecting on his sporting life, he touches on his relationship with the late Shane Warne, who he was the first to interview in long form, and recalls his friendship with the legends of sport. A keen sportsman himself, having played for the Yorkshire seconds and a lifelong Barnsley supporter, this memoir is a love letter to sport, full of heart and humour.

Industry Reviews

PRAISE FOR MICHAEL PARKISON:

A quietly impressive book, which does something most celebrity autobiographies shy away from: it seeks the truth and, more often than not, finds it - Mail, on Like Father, Like Son

A joyous, breezy read . . . It is also beautifully written - Daily Telegraph on Parky

Funny and self-deprecating and just as laid-back as he is on camera - Independent on Parky

Engrossing and entertaining - Irish Time on Parky
