The World According to Harry

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'The beautiful game has taught me a lot, but I’ve had quite a life outside of football too. This book is full of my best stories – kickabouts with jumpers for goalposts with Bobby Moore, mine and Sandra’s disastrous honeymoon to Torquay in a dodgy car and my funniest ‘Mr Pastry’ moments – as well as my thoughts on the important things in life.

I’m finally sharing what I’ve learned on and off the pitch: from growing up poor in Poplar to the heights of the Premiership and even lying in a coffin with a load of rats on national television. It’s everything I know about true team spirit, hard work, tough times, why family are so important and why everyone deserves respect no matter whether they’re royal or sleeping rough – and, of course, the real joy of a jam roly-poly.'

Reviews

Following the most impressive attempt yet on the round-the-world record, Mark Beaumont has produced a book to match. Around the World in 80 Days will leave you in awe at the enormity of the challenge that he set himself – and the extent of his preparation.

—— Road.cc

Hilarious and outrageous

—— Chris Evans

As entertaining as watching him drive, a cracking read!

—— Sir Chris Hoy

I read this in the hope that it would teach me everything I need to know so that one day I can become a racing driver although I think I may have left it too late...

—— Howard Donald, Take That

Top class chauffeur, sublime broadcaster, ultimate party honey badger. These are the qualities I know and adore about JP. He taught me how to nail a hot lap around Rockingham and I've been in a speed jive ever since. Jason can burn the candle at both ends and in the middle yet still deliver the business.

—— Suzi Perry, Fifth Gear

Jason Plato is one of the most gifted racing drivers of his generation!

—— Damon Hill

Jason is a total fruitcake!

—— Jody Scheckter, Former F1 World Champion

Irreverent

—— iNews, The best Christmas car gifts

Plato is adept at telling a story. Totally authentic. There's plenty of laughs to be had and insight on offer

—— Autosport

It makes for one of the great sporting life stories . . . Forget everything you thought about sports stars and any expectations of sports autobiographies. Plato is truly an unconventional sportsman, and this is truly an unconventional autobiography, but it is all the better for being so

—— NB Magazine

The frank autobiography of British Touring Car Championship legend

—— Motorsport News, Christmas Gift Guide

There's plenty of laughs to be had and insight on offer

—— Motorsport News

An account of a larger-than-life character whose life outside of the car is just as exhilarating as in it

—— NB Magazine

Praise for The Nowhere Men: A magnificent book, full of extraordinary characters and beautifully told

—— Guardian
