Synopsis

As England's cricket team compete for the Ashes in Australia, ex-England spinner Phil Tufnell is enjoying life as a retired cricketer and national treasure. When the sporting legend hung up his cricket boots back in 2003, little did he know the dramatic direction his professional life would take next.

Yet since being crowned 'King of the Jungle', the ex-England spin bowler has never looked back and has become a much loved television and radio presenter. Cricket's dressing-room clown is now broadcasting's joker in the pack.

Whether it's dining on mealworms on I'm a Celebrity, displaying his ballroom fleckle on Strictly Come Dancing or causing weekly mayhem for the long-suffering host Sue Barker on A Question of Sport, millions of us enjoy Tuffers' lust for life and endearing sense of humour.

In Where Am I?, Phil gamely tries to make sense of the wonderful roller-coaster he has been riding these last dozen years, delighting fans with a treasure trove of wonderful stories about the places he has been, the people he has met, the 'things' he has been asked to do but - most of all - the sheer enormous joy he has had doing it all.

Five star reader reviews for Where Am I:

'Tuffers at his best. A great read, full of fun as you expect'

'Proper laugh out loud material from Tuffers, but also heartfelt stories about his family'

'I'm bowled over by this read. An ordinary guy doing extraordinary things all because he enjoyed his cricket'

Reviews

Goodreads review by Simon

First of all, this is not an account of Phil Tufnell's cricket career. The book you want for that is called 'What Now?'. Secondly, I don't watch much television. I try to catch 'Match of the Day' on a Sunday morning and that's it. I realise this isn't a fabulously interesting personal fact but it is......more

Goodreads review by Stephen

(3 to 3.5 stars) Tufnell is a person who I've always warmed to as a character, so i was looking forward to this book. There wasn't anything greatly wrong with the book, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me and there wasn't enough detail of his cricketing life for me to be a true biography. Also thr......more

Goodreads review by Karen

One word - Legend ! I picked this book up for free ( it was written in 2014) and was a really entertaining read . He is a proper sports personality Although it touches on cricket. ( how could it not ?) it also features amusing tales of the various jobs he has had since an abrupt end to his cricket c......more

Goodreads review by Christopher

An easy enough read and Tuffers personality comes across on print as he does in the media. As a cricket fan, the book focuses much more on his ‘celebrity’ life and post cricket retirement. A fun read, but as I don’t watch anyone of these celebrity programmes I was a bit lost. His early days were ins......more

Goodreads review by Peter

This is vey much a book about Phil's celebrity life and does not have so much about cricket so be prepared to be thrown in the Get Me Out of Here Jungle and Question of Sport action. It was great to hear about Phil's relationship with his father and his attempts to be a good jeweller, but his unprep......more
