Iconic darts showman Bobby George gives you the inside story of his extraordinary life and epic playing career in an era when the sport was dominated by huge personalities who were household names.
Bobby has teamed up with long-time friend, sports reporter and BBC commentator Dave Bracegirdle to pen this no-holds-barred autobiography.
Nicknamed ‘The King of Bling’, Bobby possesses the most famous walk-on in darts. Incredibly, he didn’t touch a dart until his 30th birthday, yet within three years was lifting the first of his two News of the World titles. Two world championship finals followed, one played with a broken back.
In this riveting tell-all book, he:
- Provides personal reflections on his dazzling playing career, including epic encounters with his contemporaries, while mourning the loss of his great friend Eric Bristow
- Brings you the inside track on everything from building his own mansion (the 18-bedroom George Hall), to digging his own fishing lakes, losing four toes and appearing alongside Johnny Depp in the movie London Fields
- Relives his experiences on ITVs controversial documentary Gone To Pot, American Road Trip and the BAFTA-nominated travel series The Real Marigold Hotel
Bobby remains one of Britain’s most recognisable and charismatic entertainers. This revealing autobiography is a must-read for all darts fans and sports-nostalgia lovers.
Bobby George has teamed up with long-time friend Dave Bracegirdle to tell his story. Perhaps best known as a football reporter on Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday and as a county cricket commentator for the BBC, Dave was delighted to commentate on Bobby’s matches in the ‘League of Legends’ for Setanta Sports in 2008. Dave’s previous Pitch releases are the autobiographies of cricketers Franklyn Stephenson and Luke Fletcher.
