Publisher's Synopsis
The Premiership's most coiffured superstar, winner on three occasions of the Orange Mobile Phone User of the Month Award, Darren Tackle has been pursued by the media relentlessly since the day he burst on to the scene three years ago. After countless offers, several of them running into double figures, Tackle now at last feels the time is right to share his thoughts on the game, the players and the future with his legion of fans. THE DIARY OF DARREN TACKLE follows the player through an extraordinary season, taking in all the lows, the troughs, the dips. Through Dazza's eyes we get a unique insight into all aspects of the modern player's life: the pressures, the pitfalls, the bottled lagers. And the author pulls no punches about his experience with the other stars of the game. 'Yeah, Samson tells me there's got to be some controversy in it to sell the book,' says Dazza. 'I couldn't think of nothing myself, but he reckons the geezer what's going to write it can make up a few things to keep the publisher sweet, so I'll leave it to him.' After Dazza, football books will never be the same again.
