Book Description

Something big and black crashes against the windshield, and an explosion rocks the car. Turn into the skid! I see a flash and something in front of me. Something tall with black material flapping around it like the tail ends of an old-fashioned duster. Long, straw-colored hair. A scraggily goatee. A man? What's a man doing at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere? Why's he just standing there? Why doesn't he get out of the way? I yank the wheel back the other way, and the car swerves around him. And heads straight off the road. When the world stops bouncing and the car settles, I try to keep my eyes focused, but everything blurs around the edges. The waves ebb, and I hear a crunching sound, like boots on gravel. Straining to see, I barely make out . . . What is that? A flag? No, it's that flapping black material. I think it's the man I swerved to miss. A sweet, melodious voice makes its way through the undulating roar in my ears. “Let me help you.” Help. Yes, I need help.

Book Description

Often criticised for his aggressive behaviour on the football pitch over the 13 years of his playing career, he turned his natural intimidating presence to stunning effect when he starred as Big Chris in Guy Ritchie's huge cult classic Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. His screen debut catapulted him to new levels of stardom, and suddenly he was off to Hollywood and being touted as the successor to the ageing Arnie and Stallone. Yet despite all the profiles, no one has ever got close to revealing the man behind the image. In this revealing autobiography, he talks about his love for his wife Tanya, and how he has coped with his new life but still remained at heart one of the lads.
