Description

Enigmatic international athlete David Sharpe tells the gripping and often amusing story of his life on and off the track. Born into humble beginnings in Jarrow in north-east England, David rose to become World Junior and European Indoor champion and World Cup winner at 800 metres.

His best time of 1:43.98 was number one in the UK in 1992.

He trained with Steve Cram and was coached by the legendary Jimmy Hedley. David was known for his trademark late finishes but also for his erratic lifestyle.

In this tell-all book he delves into topics as diverse as motorbiking, skiing, celebrity boxing, travelling overseas, birdwatching, scrapes with authority, suspected drug use, athlete payments, cancer, bereavement and suicide.

He also provides insight into his training and relationship with Jimmy, and talks with regret about controversial incidents. David's story is as entertaining as his running once was.
