Ricky Tomlinson was born in 1939 and grew up in Liverpool. He has starred in many TV series including The Royle Family; Brookside; and Cracker and in films such as Raining Stones; Mike Bassett, England Manager and The 51st State. He lives in Liverpool with his wife, Rita.
'Deliciously indiscreet' SUNDAY EXPRESS 'Ricky comes up trumps ... the book thrums with energy' SUNDAY TIMES 'His life has been as messy as any reader could hope' EVENING STANDARD 'A rollicking autobiograpy' Paul Foot, OLDIE 'Filled with humour as well as pathos' THE TIMES 'The autobiography is as honest, likeable and down-to-earth as the man himself' CHOICE 'Actors are by default mostly boring people in real life. Not so in the case of the Royle family star. This is a lively and singularly unpretentious, self-effacing biography of a truly colourful character. It is well written too.' GLASGOW HERALD
