Description

James Cook's autobiography is a gripping account of his life told with the assistance of his friend and boxing author, Melanie Lloyd.

Cook was raised by his grandparents in Jamaica until he was nine years old, when his mother arrived from London to collect him.

His words paint a vibrant picture of childhood in the Caribbean sun and having to adapt to life on the notorious North Peckham Housing Estate in the late 60s.

He started boxing in his teens and became British and European super-middleweight champion.

Cook eloquently leads the reader through his life in the ring with plenty of droll tales along the way; but this is much more than a boxing book.

Cook's commitment to keeping his local community safe through his youth work contributes to an inspirational and uplifting read.

But anybody expecting to find Saint James on every page is in for a shock.

His stories range from fighting with wheel-clampers in a Tesco car park to receiving his MBE from the Queen, all told with equal warmth and a sweet honesty that will keep the pages turning.
