Praise
‘The book is a must for anyone who seeks to understand the mind of this supremely gifted racer.’ Amazon
‘In his autobiography Foggy is honest, outspoken, not giving a damn what anyone thinks and never, ever pretentious.’ Independent
‘“If I’m ever asked who has been the best British sportsman of the last 10 years, I’ll say me,” he once said. It would be an exaggeration to hold his autobiography in the same esteem, but not that much of one.’ Sunday Express
‘A frank account of his elevation from a shy and awkward teenager to a major box-office attraction.’ Herts Mercury
‘A rare glimpse into a world where the distance between success and death is a hair’s breadth.’ AV Magazine
‘… bound to keep you entertained for weeks.’ Motor Cycle News
‘He [Fogarty] seems incapable of a boring sound-bite or meaningless platitude.’ Daily Telegraph
‘If there was an award for self-belief, Carl Fogarty would walk it. Add talent, charisma and drive, and he finishes even further ahead.’ Evening Standard
