The Legend by Steve Ward
The Legend is the remarkable autobiography of Steve Ward, the world's oldest ever professional boxer. It details the astonishing obstacles Steve has overcome to become a three-times Guinness World Record holder after taking up the sport he loves again at the age of 54. Steve's unstinting ambition is driven by a promise made by his late father Bernard, who introduced him to boxing and told allcomers his son would be a world champion. His story is an inspiration to anyone who has hit hard times and proof of the old adage that all things are possible. A very serious foot injury sustained in a freak accident at work eventually led to Steve planning to kill himself before he bounced back to confound the medical profession and achieve his dream of winning a world title in his very last fight, at 64 years of age.
John Brindley is a Leicestershire-based writer of sports books including 20 Legends: Nottingham Forest, Terry Curran's autobiography Regrets of a Football Maverick, and Steve Walsh's life story, Fifty Shades of Blue. Steve Ward is the world's oldest professional boxer, and a multiple Guinness World Record holder. He achieved his lifelong ambition of winning a world title in his last-ever fight, just a few days before he turned 65. He was born in Nottingham but now lives in Mansfield.
