David Batty's brilliantly bizarre 'My Autobiography' ft. Adam Clery
Episode 18
Sunday, 1 February, 2026
Ninety books in and we *may* have found the greatest, most sinister, and downright bonkers autobiography yet - as we read former Leeds, Newcastle and England hero David Batty's incredible 2001 book 'My Autobiography'. And reading it with us is The Independent's very own tactical mastermind & Newcastle superfan, the brilliant Adam Clery.Featuring David's childhood love of the Yorkshire Ripper, his extremely unhealthy relationship with his dad's diary, Kevin Keegan having a breakdown, David James punching people in his sleep, why David will never have a bank card or an email address, and why he wasn't fussed when he missed the penalty that sent England out of the World Cup. Plus naked cinema pranks and a complete breakdown of all the countries David hated visiting.In Adam's words, it's Patrick Bateman meets Alan Partridge. And it's a cracker.Want an exclusive, bonus Book Club episode every week?
