Product Description

Alan Brazil's hilariously engaging autobiography was the surprise bestseller of 2006, a life-enhancing antidote to the bland life-stories of a gaggle of young Premier League superstars. Alan and his co-writer, Mike 'Porky' Parry, have added fresh stories of japes, pranks and mishaps, and they can be relied upon to keep the bottles of bubbly slipping down a treat. Funny and controversial by turns, "There's an Awful Lot of Bubbly in Brazil" will delight and entertain all football followers as well as the multitude of fans of Alan's "talkSPORT" breakfast show.

his autobiography says it all"

Customer Reviews

bland stuff
This is tedious repetitive stuff. Apart from a couple of chapters from his playing days and his time at Celtic this is a pretty bland effort. There is a limit on describing how many times you have drunk champagne with "Porky" and the hilarious "anecdotes" are pretty laboured. At times its a bit like listening to David Brent's admiration for Finchy.

Mickey Quinn did this subject much better a couple of years ago. Save your money for a pint. The bad news is that his second book is supposed to be even worse....

Terrible
i thought this book was one of the worst sporting biographies I have ever read,which I was surprised at bearing in mind it was written by the talented Mike Parry.However I guess there is only so much you can write about someone and his drinking exploits. The guy seems to pride himself on his ability to get freebies and the amount of alcohol he can drink....well congratulations on being successful at both those pursuits but I'm afraid the bookwritng has failed miserably.

Alan Brazil - The 5 goal wonder
As a talk sport listener and ITFC fan I took no convincing in buying this great book. It reads as if Alan is presenting his show and is very funny at times. It was very interesting to see why he lost his job there and how we all got him reinstated. Dont ever let him go again as he is MR TalkSport. The order of stories were strange at times and I wish there had been more about Ipswich Town and beating the yellow peril. This is a perfect book for a holiday or a long flight (On Singapore Airlines of course!!!).
