Peter Crouch’s non-fiction books span from his 2007 autobiography Walking Tall to the 2023 release How to Be an Ex-Footballer. The series informally breaks into two phases: the straight autobiography and the humor-focused books that followed his retirement. How to Be a Footballer and I, Robot are structured around anecdotes and observations rather than a chronological life story.

The books have earned Crouch a reputation as one of football’s funniest writers. His tall frame (he stands 6 feet 7 inches) and likeable personality come through in prose that avoids the ghostwritten-memoir blandness common in sports publishing. Each book works on its own, though reading them in order gives a natural progression from active player to retired observer.
