Sadly Micah Richards’ playing career was curtailed by Injuries, which saw him retire around the age of 31/32. But my schedule is too hectic and I’ve got a son who’s five and I’m starting to miss key parts of his life. At the start of the 2012–13 season, Richards suffered an ankle injury during the Summer Olympics tournament and was sidelined for a month. There's not a lot wrong with the book, it's a perfectly acceptable run through of Richards playing career with a tacked on chapter at the end about becoming a pundit. You didn’t really here about his personal affairs at all; nothing on his girlfriend/ wife and family.

When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. Then there was the other side after his time at Man City when injuries took their hold and he ended up retiring at the age of 30.However, during a 3–0 win over West Ham United on 24 August 2008, he collided with team-mate Tal Ben Haim after a clash of heads, resulting in him being substituted and taken to hospital with a concussion. Richards works as a pundit for Sky Sports and BBC Sport, appearing across radio and television including Match of the Day. On 28 November 2015, he scored his first goal for Villa, heading an equaliser in a 2–3 home loss to Watford. Keane’s intimidating aura disappeared when, during lockdown, Richards saw the hard man apply his own blusher.

His career was cut short through injury, but he also talks through all the highs and lows, revealing what footballers really carry in those washbags.

Richards then set up two goals in two matches between 15 October 2011 and 23 October 2011, including one in a 6–1 win over rivals, Manchester United.

England v Germany had the best atmosphere of any international game I’ve ever been to’: Micah Richards.
