A quick-witted romp of a first novel from Triple R breakfaster, occasional TV personality and former professional footballer, Tony Wilson.
Ex-footballer Ian 'Tickets' Thompson is the bad-boy darling of TV's top-rating sports show, 'Leather and Lace'. The more offensive he is, the more the fans love him. But how will a million viewers, not to mention the police, react to his unprovoked assault on a homeless man? More to the point, what about his trigger-happy employer, media tycoon Sir Barry Haynes? To Billy Nock, fading champion, icon of fair play and host of the dismally rating rival show, these are crucial questions. And when it starts to look like Tickets might get away with it, Billy is spurred to action . . .
