Paul Kimmage

Cool going back to the yesteryears of cycling, enjoyed the last section - passionate call for more doping controls.

Interesting insight into the life of professional cycling. I'm sympathetic with cyclists like Kimmage but when I hear him interviewed and as I read his book I mostly hear a lot of whining. Perhaps his bitterness is justified but it isn't particularly appealing.

Easy enough book to read about the player Tony Cascarino.
He played for my team Celtic for a while but he didnt really find the back of the net much.

Glad I read this book it was quite refreshing alot of football books are a bit boring but this one was quite interesting.

Not a typical book I would buy but I enjoyed reading the book. Kimmage writes well, as one would expect given that he became a journalist, and the language flows. He puts all his feelings into the pages and you feel immense sympathy for his experience as a journeyman rider in the Tour. In my view his feelings regarding drug taking in cycling are vindicated in the book and have been vindicated by subsequent events. His additions to the later editions are particularly worth reading.
