Though never far from controversy, Deano's reputation as an old fashioned centre-forward hitting the target over 200 times in his career, has made him popular with fans and players alike. Windass' second spell at Bradford City was equally as successful on a personal scale and he climbed to the club's third highest scorer in its history. In this book, he lifts the lid on what it is really like to be a professional footballer in the modern age - the training, the big games and life away from the pitch. Whether that’s true or not is another question, he also claims to have lived in ‘Bicester village’ – which means he either lived in a village near Bicester, or that Hull is such a metropolis Bicester is village-like by comparison or he actually lived in a retail park amongst the Helly Hansen end of line bargains. He made his first Premier League start for Hull on 26 December 2008 against Manchester City at the City of Manchester Stadium.

He’s standing with mock braggadocio – mindful of the utter spanking we’d just received – with his hands cupped around his ears in that ‘who are you? It was his only action during Hull's start to the season, which saw them take 14 points from their first seven games, leading to Windass being frustrated at his lack of first-team action. He made his Darlington debut in a 3–1 defeat to Aldershot Town, [62] and a day later he played his Hull City testimonial match against Aberdeen at the KC Stadium.

In his teens he was rejected by both his mother and father, an act that left deep scars that obviously still have not fully heeled. Windass credits his wife, Helen, a police officer, also from Hull, with devising his fitness and diet regimes.
