| The Laurel & Hardy of Radio | |
|
 |
A brilliant book about the former footballer and tabloid freelance journalist.
They are the Laurel & Hardy of Talksport radio. An odd couple who rule the airwaves.
Brazil is Scottish, Parry is Welsh - but it works.
Brazil is a babe magnet and Parry is a gay icon - but it works.
Brazil played for Ipswich and Scotland and Parry worked as a glorified teaboy for Garry Bushell & Piers Morgan at The Sun but together they are the best double act since Morecambe & Wise.
Buy this book and have a good laugh. This book is the best biog I have read since Bushell Off The Box by Garry Johnson.
And Brazil & Parry are the Ant And Dec of shock Jock radio.
Brilliant book.

I didn't read the blurb before I bought it so I suppose it was my fault really, but I was extremely disappointed with this book.
I was expecting a similar helping of wit and insight into the world of football to what we got in Awful lot of Bubbly, but instead what this book offers is a prolonged tirade against the UK's ills - policing, the health service, immigration, roads etc, etc. It reminded me of the sort of stuff that you can hear being spouted on about in taproom bars all over country.
There is not much football in this book but the times when there are are amongst the precious few times when this book becomes interesting as are the anecodes told about the co-author Mike 'Porky' Parry.
My advice to Brazil and Parry if they are planning another book is to stick to the subject they best at - football.

As an Alan Brazil fan I was much looking forward to this book as a follow up to his first great read, but I'm afraid I was greatly disappointed.
The combination of Parry & Brazil did not shine in this publication (although how Mike Parry is still a "pal" is a mystery to me after the stunts Alan plays on him !)
Hope the next book will regain the heights of the first.

Just read this book and did not think much of it really. His first book There's an Awful Lot of Bubbly in Brazil: The Life and Times of a Bon Viveur was a brillant read but I found this quite boring to be honest and had a hard time reading it all.
It does have a few good stories in it but other than that I would spend my money elsewhere. And Im a very big Alan Brazil fan!

This book needs an update already.
How the Traffic Police of her majesty's constabulary avoid the Brazilian Barrels is quite amazing.
