Dalla quarta di copertina
‘He conquered his sport like no Briton had ever done, but then fell further into disgrace than anybody knew’
Five times world champion and double Olympic medallist, Reg Harris was the greatest sportsman of his age. But look beyond the surface and you find a darker, more complicated soul. Harris was driven by a single-minded ruthlessness both on and off the track, and was defined as much by his pursuit of money and women as that of sporting achievement. Despite his incredible success, he remained a man haunted by a past he could never fully outrun.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. REG HARRIS, whose statue overlooks the Manchester Velodrome, is the legend who all track cyclists want to emulate. He was a poor, working-class boy born in the Depression who escaped the Lancashire mills to utterly dominate his sport. He triumphed as world champion an incredible five times between 1947 and 1954 and performed medal-winning heroics at the London Olympics. At his peak he was the most adored sportsman in the country, a British cycling superstar, attracting huge crowds, sponsorship, and the company of the rich and famous. But, fiercely driven and ruthlessly single-minded, Harris had a dark side. His was a sensational life fuelled by an insatiable need for money, celebrity, fast cars and beautiful women that constantly threatened to destroy him. Following an exhaustive investigation, Robert Dineen has uncovered an epic sporting rise and fall a story more astounding than anyone had known. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR004069269
