<div> <div> At long last, the award-winning Baker & Kelly bring you the most entertaining, radical, and unreliable football book ever published. It is full of facts, near facts, and "facts." The Two Dannys intend to argue the toss, spill the beans, and heave the talcum about everything and anything from the game's biggest questions to some more middling posers right down to stuff they have frankly invented themselves. Questions include: Which clubs have the handsomest fans? Who is the greatest player of all time? and Have foreign players helped or hindered the English game? A cornucopia of footballing fun and well-crafted wisdom that is certain to sell like beer-flavored chips. Who wouldn't want this book on their roster, except maybe Dick Rowe? Baker & Kelly: Sometimes right, sometimes wrong--but always certain. </div> </div>

Full of facts, near facts and 'facts', Danny Baker and Danny Kelly argue the toss and spill the beans about everything and anything, from the beautiful game's biggest questions to some more middling posers.

Classic Football Debates Settled Once and For All, Vol. 1

Danny Baker was born in Deptford, South East London in June 1957, and from an early age was involved in magazine journalism, with the founding of fanzine Sniffin' Glue alongside friend Mark Perry. From there he moved to documentary series for LWT and over the years worked on a variety of quiz shows (Win, Lose or Draw, Pets Win Prizes, TV Heroes), as well two television commercials which made him a household name—Daz and Mars Bars. With a number of guest appearences on comedy shows such as Have I Got News For You, Shooting Stars, and Room 101, Danny has also presented on BBC Radio since 1989. Most recently he presents a weekday show on BBC London 94.9 and a weekly show on BBC Radio 5 Live. This book charts Danny's showbiz career, the highs and lows, and everything in between, including the accusation that he killed Bob Marley.

"In these memoirs I bounce all about British TV with such success that I wind up in radio. I will also be filling a few holes that I left in the previous decades. For example, I managed to forget in Book One that I had been shot. Twice." Danny Baker's first volume of autobiography, Going to Sea in a Sieve, was a Sunday Times bestseller, acclaimed for its non-stop humor and anecdotal flourish. It told the exploits of Danny's childhood and the wild living of his teenage years. Now, he is 25 and it is 1982, and he embarks on an accidental and anxiety-induced career in television—going off alarming. With rollicking good stories from what he describes as "a frankly crackpot life," Danny continues this stupendous chronicle with irrepressible verve and hilarity. Dozens of TV shows—many of them lousy—give up their backstage stories, and Danny's extraordinary family, particularly his father Spud, react to the ride throughout. Game shows, talk shows, adverts and TFI Friday are but a few of the unplanned pitstops along the way. Not forgetting the tale of Twizzle: the Dog Who Hanged Himself, Died, Then Came Back to Life Again. . . Clearly, this will be no ordinary show business-stroll down memory lane.

Going Off Alarming: The Autobiography: Vol 2

Danny Baker's third volume of memoirs barrels along at the same cracking pace as its predecessors, the bestselling Going to Sea in a Sieve (the inspiration for the major TV series Cradle to Grave and subsequent nationwide tour) and Going off Alarming. With his trademark exuberance, he recalls the years which included six years' involvement in the massive TV hit TFI Friday ('piling it up with hellzapoppin' ideas') - during which time he stalked John Cleese in New York, entertained David Bowie and Paul McCartney, bizarrely reunites with Sir Michael Caine, gets befriended by Peter O'Toole and becomes a member of Led Zeppelin for 35 minutes. 
However, the tales are not reliant on celebrity alone, and the book comes packed with the usual quota of Baker family jewels, including Spud's attitude to doctors, Danny's trip to Amsterdam to get stoned for the first time (he fails), getting caught up in football rioting, and the now infamous 'kaboom' of an outburst following his despatch from BBC London. And then there's the cancer. Spoiler alert: this is the one in which he almost dies. Further spoiler alert: he doesn't.
Going on the Turn is a rollicking read that fizzes with wit, warmth and enviable joie de vivre.

Depression is like drowning, when everyone around you is breathing … You can say that again. A lot of people think that depression is just sadness, but it’s so, so much more than that. It’s fear, emptiness, shame, embarrassment, numbness, and an exhaustion so overwhelming that it’s a struggle just to get out of bed. It’s a world without color or laughter. It’s looking in the mirror and hating what you see. It’s having no confidence, no hope, no belief in your future. It’s feeling like a worthless, pathetic, hopeless failure, and that the world would be better off without you. My name’s Jimmy Wharton, and if you have depression yourself, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. And, you’ll also understand me when I say that the thing I hate most about depression is how alone it makes you feel – because due to the stigma surrounding it, depression is so, so difficult to talk about. Take my friends for instance. Corey, Brent, Chris, Sean, Steve and I have been best mates for the last 15 years, but we’re used to talking about college, girls and sport, so what would they say if I all of a sudden told them that I lie up late at night wishing I was dead? Then there are my parents. It would be nice to be able to tell them, but how would that conversation go? ‘Ma, can you please pass the salt? Oh and by the way, I used one of your steak knives to cut myself last night because I wanted to punish myself for being such a failure.’ Once again, it’s not the easiest conversation to have. Then there’s Olivia. Beautiful, caring, love-of-my-life Olivia. The girl who used to take care of me when after drowning my misery in alcohol, I’d then start vomiting in the toilet; the girl who used to rub antiseptic cream into the cuts along my arm; and the girl who used to hold me close to her when I’d want to die, and whisper in my ear that I’d get through it and that everything would be OK. Ever since we started going out back in high school, love was the oxygen that we’d breathe each day. But lately, as I’ve been sucked deeper and deeper into the vortex of my despair, Olivia’s seemed sort of ... distant. It feels like her warmth has evaporated. Like her passion has been drained. I guess there’s only so much even the most sympathetic person can take, and I have a sickening fear that Olivia’s reaching the end of her tether. And even worse – that the only reason she’s still with me is because she’s scared that if she leaves, I’ll kill myself. I’m really determined never to do that – and despite how impossible it seems, I’m trying my damnedest to beat my depression so that I can get my life back on track, make things right with Olivia, and then go on to marry her and have a family – just like we’d always planned. But every day is getting harder and harder, and I’m terrified that no matter how much we love each other, that our relationship is destined to end in disaster. A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER: If you’re interested in psychology, or in particular, if you struggle with depression yourself or want to learn more about it, then you’ll love this book. But, if you’re after a light-hearted read, or if you dislike swearing and graphic sex scenes, then it is recommended that you read something else.

Depression is living in a body that fights to survive . . . with a mind that tries to die. Depression is fear, despair, emptiness, numbness, shame, embarrassment and the inability to recognise the fun, happy person you used to be. Depression is the incapacity to construct or envision a future. Depression is losing the desire to partake in life. Depression can cause you to feel completely alone – even when you’re surrounded by people. Worst of all, depression can convince you that there’s no way out. It can convince you that your pain is eternal, and destined to oppress you for the rest of your days. And it's when you're in that horrifically black place, staring down the barrel of what you truly believe can only be a lifetime of wretched agony, that your thoughts turn to suicide – because depression has convinced you that it’s the only way out. But depression is a liar. Recovery IS possible – and I can prove it to you. My name’s Danny Baker, and for four years, I suffered

Depression Is a Liar: It Is Possible to Recover and Be Happy Again - Even If You Don't Believe It Right Now

Leaders & Notable People

From the author of the #1 international mental health bestseller Depression is a Liar A long time ago ... I felt like I was drowning ... when everyone around me was breathing. I was terrified I'd always be miserable. I kept relapsing, and relapsing, and relapsing ... and I didn't know why. I hated my life so much that I wanted to die. Hi, my name's Danny Baker, and I used to suffer from a depression so debilitating that for four years it led to alcoholism, drug abuse, medicine-induced psychosis and multiple hospitalisations. Fortunately, however, I was able to recover, and in this book, I'll share with you the exact three step blueprint I followed to navigate my way out of the abyss and transform myself into the extremely happy, healthy person I am today.  Here's a breakdown of exactly what this book will cover: Step 1: Firstly, we'll talk about what you can do to understand what is causing your depression. Step 2: Secondly, we'll analyse how you can deal with the underlying causes of your depression so that they no longer cause you to feel depressed. In the course of doing so, we'll also cover how to deal with some particularly common causes of depression including:  Spending too long doing things that you don't enjoy;  Loving yourself for unhealthy reasons (or not loving yourself at all);   Anger;   Not allowing gratitude to co-exist with your pain;   Self-victimisation;   Not being surrounded by the "right" people (or even worse, being surrounded by the "wrong" people);   Being a prisoner of what other people think;   Taking everything personally (i.e. forgetting that you're only a part of everyone else's world);   Living an unbalanced life;   Perfectionism;   Living an unhealthy lifestyle;   Having too many negative thoughts and not enough positive thoughts;   Worrying;   Struggling to trust someone again after you've been hurt in love.   Step 3: Lastly, we'll discuss what you can do when you experience a relapse so that your relapses gradually become fewer and farther between, and in the end, eventually peter out for good.
