atschYeah right, because they're aren't already thousands of Tyson biographies, movies, docs etc etc already out there. Wise up. I'm planning on writing a book about Barbados Joe Walcott in a few years; it's just getting all the sources together.
Bunce I managed to find a copy of the Watson book in a charity shop and loved it. It literally changed my life in that after hearing Watson talk about how the care he received in the months and years after suffering his injuries gave him the mental strength to carry on living, made me pursue a career in social care. Just thought that even if it didn't sell great, it changed my life and hopefully those of the children I will work with. Cheers.
I'm extremely lucky to have a signed copy of this by Michael Watson, and don't want to sound all arse-kissy and stuff, but this is one of the most inspiring and moving books I've ever read. It's not full of fancy prose or literacy gymnastics, it's just straight to the bone and tells the Watson story as is. Michael has an incredible and truly amazing story to tell, and Bunce I have to say you've done a fantastic job with it. Highly recommended. :good
2nd that Gaz, got it a few years back and never tire of reading it. Very uplifting and informative book I love it. Got a signed 1 (thanks Buncey) on his tour last year that I gave to an ill mate it really helped him get through a tough time. Got fixer but had no time to get far into it, will give opinions when done
isn't that the challenge?? to write THE definitive account of a legend that will be read and sourced down the ages?? look at Simon Sebag Montefiore - he did a two part biography of Josef Stalin about five years ago, to add to the dozens of biographies and histories written on Josef Stalin - and his work is now respected as one of the most thorough histories written on Stalin. Bunce has the ability, talent, contacts and experience to do a massive project like that. aswell as youth, drive, energy, determination - don't confuse with someone like yourself wanting to write a little book in their spare time...:bbb
