When the Gloves Came Off by Robin Mcgibbon
Billy Walker was a British sporting hero - a supremely courageous fighter with film star looks, who became a household name after millions of TV viewers saw him knock out a giant American in less than a minute. His record for the number of successive Wembley sell-outs has never been beaten.
'Billy Walker..tells his story with a liveliness that puts most sporting autobiographies in the shade. While he revels in the good days, his tale is shot through with sadness at his estrangement from the brother he worshipped, and his account of nursing his third wife, Pat, as she died of cancer is almost too painful to read. Now living contentedly with his fourth wife, he ends with the words: "Happy days!" Good luck to him; he deserves it.' The Independent on Sunday , October 2008
Robin McGibbon is a former national newspaper sub-editor. He is now a full-time author, and has written or co-written ten books, including the autobiographies of Barbara Windsor and Charles Kray. He lives in Kent with his wife, Sue.
