Here's the raw truth. Danny Baker and I have been working together for years. We win all the big prizes for our radio broadcasts, newspaper columns and podcasts. Then we are unceremoniously sacked. We then spend many months in the wilderness before the powers that be realise that whole rafts of right thinking people don't actually want the bland writing and broadcasting with which we've been replaced. Then we come back in triumph (paraded through the streets in solid gold chariots drawn by oiled peacocks, rose petals thrown into our path by hand picked maidens from all corners of the globe). Then the whole process begins again...
Anyway, here's what the official biog says about us (it's mostly true, cos we wrote it...)
Broadcast legend Danny Baker is the pioneering presenter of the original football phone-in 6-0-6 on the BBC. He also began the whole Own Goals and Gaffes Xmas video industry later jumped on by everyone from Neil Kinnock to Judge Judy and for this he apologises unreservedly. He neither likes nor cares about any other football club than his own (Millwall) and knows that's just how all other real supporters actually live their miserable lives. Publishing overlord Danny Kelly is former editor of NME, Q and Total Sport , and founder of the Football365 website. He regularly broadcasts on TalkSport and BBC FiveLive. He appals Baker by knowing 97.4% of everything there is to know about football and 85.3% about every other sport. He loves Spurs but annoys those who sit around him at White Hart Lane by booing the team as they run out just in case. Danny Baker and Danny Kelly have broadcast their award-scooping stuff for years now and have co-written a weekly sports column for the Times, until that was sacked too. Immediately after, their Baker & Kelly football podcast became the country's no.1 sports download. NUMBER ONE. There, suck that up all you lily livered hair-trigger quaking BBC execs.This is their first book.
