Deano

Product Information

Dean's personal life off the pitch has perhaps brought him as much media coverage as that on the pitch, culminating in an attempted suicide in 2012 following his retirement from the game. A straight-talking Yorkshireman, he pulls no punches, – and shows retirement from the game comes with its own wins and losses.

As you would expect from such a larger-than-life character, never far from controversy, his autobiography is a good read. With the kind of passion that, in the past, has resulted in numerous red cards, he doesn't hold back on anything in telling his life story and, as a result, it gives you a very real taste of what it's like earning your living in the precarious world of football. This book is a cut above the plethora of footballing autobiographies that are churned out every year because it has a real story to tell - and Dean tells it very well indeed. deano might never really make it as a household name - but he'd be a lot funnier than a lot of people who are on telly all the time.On 21 October 2009, the Grimsby Telegraph reported that Windass had gone on record to state his interest in the vacant manager's post at Grimsby Town, following the dismissal of Mike Newell.

He is also unbelievably candid with Windass admitting that he had no pubic hair until he was 17, he pee’ed on Ian Ormanroyd’s leg in the shower during his time at Hull and that Stan Collymore shaved his testicles in the communal showers.

Windass and Todd only lasted nine league games in charge at Darlington, before they left the club by mutual consent on 26 September 2009, having failed to win a single league game. This sent Windass on a path back to Hull (via a couple of other clubs) where he gained prominence by larruping in the goal that took The Tigers to their first season in the Premier League in 2008.Hull City Council are considering creating a permanent tribute to Windass, [34] [35] who responded modestly when described as a legend: "Nah, I'm not a legend. For me, there was no real urgency in reading Windass’ autobiography, partly because of the unsavoury connotations of the subtitle.
