Deano

Product Information

Deano talks about life as a young boy growing up playing on the streets beneath the stadium he got to play the game he loved, a game that then defined him for a lifetime after being crystallised with a volley in front of thousands of fans, some who travelled from those very streets to see him smash in a 30 Million Pound Goal at Wembley. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. In short, this involves me saying that Windass stuns the frenzied crowd into silence the moment he makes emphasis of his prodigious lugs. This game was the club's last match under the management of Roy Aitken, [14] and Windass himself was to move on at the end of the season. Disappointed by his lack of first team opportunities, Windass was allowed to leave Hull, and, on 9 January, he joined Oldham Athletic on loan for the rest of the season.

He shares hilarious stories from his playing days and can talk in-depth about his struggles with and recovery from depression.

Windass is one of many who bounced around that network of managers and coaches including; John Dreyer, Chris Hargreaves and Billy Whitehirst, who is barely mentioned in the first 240-odd pages but contributes a whole chapter at the end of the book. His 201st was a volley from the edge of the area in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium on 24 May 2008, giving Hull City a 1–0 win against Bristol City, which meant that Hull City were promoted to the Premier League for the first time in their 104-year history.

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. He is a huge advocate for positive thinking, a natural in front of a crowd and sure to be an audience favourite wherever he is booked.

I hope I've not made it sound as if it's all very deep and serious, there are lots of funny stories and Dean's 'up for it' character shines through.

Windass is a member of a club who attained something akin to legend status within Oxford United without actually making a material contribution to the club’s progress; for this read: Tommy Mooney and, perhaps over time, Michael Duberry. But what happens when all that goes away, the phone stops ringing, and you find yourself naked, empty, and scrambling to find yourself again? Windass helped the Blades to the play-offs but he was dropped by manager Neil Warnock for the final, opting instead to watch his side's 3–0 defeat by Wolves in a pub. In August 2010, Windass came out of his retirement to sign for the North Lincolnshire semi-professional side Barton Town, managed by his former teammate Dave Anderson, on a game-by-game deal. In May 2012 he applied for the vacant position at hometown club Hull City, stating he would be open to consider also a job as a coaching staff member.For me, there was no real urgency in reading Windass’ autobiography, partly because of the unsavoury connotations of the subtitle. From letters signed by Disney himself to classic children’s books or ephemera, be sure to check out some of the collectible Walt Disney books on Biblio! Windass claimed the goal that earned Hull City a draw, with a header from a corner that deflected off defender Noé Pamarot and into the net. He briefly worked as player-coach, under former manager Colin Todd at Darlington, but the pair only lasted nine games in charge. Pete in particular was absolutely brilliant and without doubt one of the funniest and sharpest people I have ever met.

He was brought back to Hull City by manager Terry Dolan in October 1991, entering professional league football at the relatively late age of 22. A proud and straight-talking Yorkshireman, he pulls no punches, to tell it all in Life After Football - and shows once the final whistle blows retirement from the game comes with its own wins and losses.Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .
