After receiving emergency treatment on the pitch from medical personnel - including a consultant cardiologist who was at the game as a fan - he was rushed to a coronary care unit at the London Chest Hospital. Muamba's heart stopped beating for 78 minutes. But amazingly he survived. He made a remarkable recovery that has engrossed and enthralled both the footballing and wider world. Although it is Muamba's cardiac arrest and his wonderful resurgence that has brought him into the public eye, the truth is that he had already lived a remarkable life prior to his collapse. Born in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Muamba was brought up surrounded by the terror of a civil war and without a father who was forced to flee to the UK in 1994 because of his links to unpopular President Mobutu Sese Seko. Muamba was not reunited with his father until 1999 when he moved to London aged 11.This schoolboy, who could not speak a word of English, then displayed the kind of strength and faith that would become his hallmark, achieving 10 GCSEs and three A-levels before swiftly rising to the top of the English game, firstly with Arsenal and Birmingham City before his final spell at Bolton.

The follow-up to the bestselling "The Real Bill Shankly", this long overdue publication celebrates the life and times of arguably the most successful manager in British football history.

"The Real Bob Paisley" features marvellous photography from the unique archive collection of the "Liverpool Daily Post" and "Echo", and will be the definitive official record of his life - officially endorsed by Liverpool FC.

A mum of three who was abused and raped as a child by her own father has revealed her ordeal drove her into the clutches of middle-aged paedophiles. Trish Hinde, 35, was sexually abused by her father, Gerard King, from the age of six. Alone and scared, she internalised her trauma and began suffering from violent seizures. Her father took responsibility for her epilepsy care, even abusing her on hospital visits. Trish and her five siblings were neglected, often relying on neighbours for food and watching helplessly as bailiffs carried away their possessions. In her early teens, Trish was recklessly promiscuous and became a victim of child sexual exploitation, often finding herself in danger. She reported her childhood abuse many times, in letters to family members and social workers, in an essay she wrote at school, to a therapist and to NSPCC. But, despite her father being jailed for abusing another child, her complaint never went any further. Trish became suicidal and despairing. Her relationships seemed doomed because she had damaging flashbacks and seizures whenever she became intimate. But in 2015, she met her husband, Craig, and found true happiness. They had three children, Jacob, now six, Oscar, five and Jessica, three. But Trish was overly protective of her children and did not like her husband looking after their daughter. Realising her past history was damaging her marriage, she decided to go to the police. This time, at last, they listened. In April 2022, Gerard King, 59, was convicted of rape, indecent assault and indecency with a child at Chester Crown Court. Trish maintains the court case and conviction were not important to her.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Very Good. ARGUABLY NO sports star has ever captured the nation's hearts like Jimmy White. In an era where sportsmen have gained a reputation for their blandness, White has consistently been a brilliant one-off. Regarded as one of the most naturally gifted snooker players of all time, White has enthralled the public with his antics on and off the table over three decades. Famously, he has been a runner-up in the World Championships on a record six occasions and he has taken his hugely loyal fans through a rollercoaster of emotions, particularly in the 1990s when he lost five consecutive finals. However, that run did nothing to quell the public's fascination with a sportsmen who has never forgotten his roots. Jimmy's life has been filled with challenges, all of which he discusses, from fighting testicular cancer to changing his name to 'Jimmy Brown' for a publicity stunt in 2005. With a searing honesty, White outlines everything from his early life, his monumental natural talent and what it feels like to have got so close to sporting immortality - yet just missed out. White's no-hold barred account of a life lived in the fast lane also makes for intriguing reading. The girls, the drugs, the booze and the rock n' roll lifestyle; Jimmy pulls no punches when discussing his tearaway behaviour - his massive love and enthusiasm for life itself, his family and the sport he adores more than any other. With a best friend in Ronnie Wood - the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist, White has been at the best parties, the best gigs and lived the dream for 30 years. In a darker way, find out his honest opinions on match-fixing, drugs in sport and the friends and foes he made on the gruelling snooker circuit. Filled with anecdotes and tales galore - as well as lifting the lid on snooker's chronic problems - Jimmy's story is a thrilling and fascinating insight into a phenomenal character - on and off the snooker table.

Now in a heart-rending and inspirational new memoir she tells of her journey from hiding her sexuality as a young soldier at a time when being gay in the military was illegal, to her fears of being outed as she stood on the podium at the Athens Olympics, the games which catapulted her to fame as a double-gold medallist.

This honest memoir is a tale of self-discovery, overcoming struggles and learning to be true to yourself. Dame Kelly says: "80,000 people were chanting my name as I stood on top of a double-decker bus and did a victory lap of my hometown. I'd won two Olympic gold medals, the first woman the UK to ever do that, and I should have been on top of the world at my homecoming parade but even in that magical moment I had this deep fear that someone was going to go to the media and out me for being gay. "All my life I lived with that fear and anxiety of not being accepted if I lived publicly as my true self. But 18 years later I was standing on stage in Trafalgar Square at London Pride, and people were chanting for me again, this time for the person I have become and I was finally free to be me. Nothing is perfect, the journey continues and I'm learning every day about the community I'm now proud to be part of. But I'm being true to myself and that means everything.".

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Fine. The untold story of the infamous criminal, Charles Salvador - known to millions as Britain's most violent prisoner Charles Bronson - from the unique perspective of his wife Irene Dunroe. Every other book about Charles romanticises his crimes and violent nature, while Inside and Out examines his life before prison, when was a completely 'normal', well-adjusted young man, and how deeply loss can affect behaviour The author is in weekly correspondance with Charles Salvador over email and letters and has been invited to visit Charles in Long Lartin prison to inform her research. --- A story of two halves, documenting the life of Irene Dunroe - the first wife of Michael Peterson, now known as Charles Salvador, Britain's most notorious and longest serving prisoner. The story will be told from two points of view, a chapter dedicated to Irene's view from when she first met 'Mick', followed by a chapter dedicated to Charlie's view. As well as documenting Irene's life, the story will show in Charlie's chapters what was going on in his life behind bars, and will focus on never before told details of how Irene's life impacted his state of mind. Charlie was aware of everything that was happening in Irene's life, and though he didn't acknowledge it at the time, in retrospect he realises that a lot of his violent outbursts behind bars were directly related to his feelings of anger and grief at losing the only people he had truly loved - his wife and his son. This is a truly tragic love story, and despite Irene re-marrying, having two more children, and living a full life without her first husband, she has always been drawn back to Charlie, and he to her. Now, more than 40 years after divorcing and both in their 70s, the star-crossed lovers seem to be drawn together once again. Irene lights up when she talks about 'her Mick', and in his many letters to the author, Charles can't help but talk about his heart missing a beat and his breath being taken away when 'his Irene' visits him. This book ends with a series of questions.Is this man really a monster? How much has the system created him? Is it now time for the parole board to give him a chance to live out his final years as a free man? While never excusing the violence and horror he has inflicted on others, Shaw takes an in- epth look, for the first time, at the possible root causes of his behaviour.
