For every successful pundit, there’s a footballer struggling to adjust to life; and while some may find a new lease in becoming a painter, a detective or an MP, the path for others isn’t quite so rewarding. Eliminate negativity and change your life with best-selling author, happiness expert and life coach Domonique Bertolucci. Across 16 Chapters and 275 Pages, Peter Crouch builds the reader a picture of the character that he has come to know through tales from throughout his career, or his perception and experience from afar for others, during their “main and more famous career” of being a footballer. A resolve to be a giant among men, to conquer, plunder and seize the greatness that he thinks is his right. The audiobook reflects Rhonda’s own journey and shares the most direct way out for those experiencing hardship and the path to end pain and suffering endured by so many, and it shines a light on a future without anxiety or fear.

What you realise, as you laugh out loud, is that football has been taken too seriously by too many people for too long. Just as there are books being written to be turned into screenplays, there are definitely books that are written to be listened to as opposed to read. And according to the residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa - the world's longest-living people - finding it is the key to a longer and more fulfilled life.

Considering Crouch is a successful podcaster, it's not surprising that it is such clear audio book material.I found it incredibly interesting listening to all the stories of what former players from different eras have got up to post football. So walk with me into the dressing-room, to find out which players refuse to touch a football before a game, to discover why a load of millionaires never have any shower-gel, and to hear what Cristiano Ronaldo says when he looks at himself in the mirror.
