One of the last graduates from football’s old school, Jimmy Bullard actually worked in the real world – including as a painter and decorator – before turning pro. Maybe that’s why he played football with a smile on his face, always says what’s on his mind, and is no stranger to a spot of mischief. Having played under the likes of Barry Fry, Harry Redknapp and Phil Brown, appeared alongside names as diverse as Neil Ruddock and Paolo di Canio, and as long as Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Jimmy has racked up an amazing collection of tales and pranks both on and off the football front-line. Told with candour, ‘Bend it Like Bullard’ is the extraordinary story of his journey from cable TV fitter to cult hero.
