And you thought Lampard sucked at the World Cup
By: Bob | August 4th, 2006
Following on the heels of the release of Wayne Rooney’s page turning autobiography about all the lessons he has learned during his 20 years on this planet, fellow Englishmen Frank Lampard has come out with his own book about the trials and tribulations of being an overpaid footballer.
As our buddy Wolf pointed out to us on his excellent blog Du Nord, the Guardian offers up a less than flattering review of Lampard’s writing skills. In fact, we are willing to wager that the review is more entertaining to read than the book. Our favorite snippet:
Consider Lampard’s reflections after a fortnight spent on Roman Abramovich’s yacht. “I suppose people imagine that as a Premiership footballer, my life is quite special,” he hazards. “I would agree, but those two weeks opened my eyes to another world.” Ah, a millionaire yearning to be a billionaire … is there anything more charmless?
Then there is this horrifying image:
Those willing to don the rubber gloves and sift through Totally Frank will learn that when Jose Mourinho informed Frank he was “the best player in the world”, he chose the moment he was emerging from the shower. “I was confused,” writes Frank, “and completely naked.”
Yes, by the sounds of things we will not be rushing out to purchase Totally Frank. After all, Wayne Rooney’s deal calls for him to pen four more books about himself. That should keep us entertained for at least 20 minutes.
