Product Description

Product Description

Published to coincide with Lester Piggott's 60th birthday, this autobiography chronicles his early school days and his first win as a 12 year old, through 30 years of his extraordinary riding career. It looks at the time he served in jail, his marriage and family life.


From the Back Cover

Lester Piggott has been making headlines for over forty years, during which he has been notorious as a man of very few words - until now.

In this frank and revealing autobiography, Lester looks back on a career at the top unparalleled in both achievement and longevity. It is the story of a phenomenal riding record that made him a household name in every corner of the globe matched by an extraordinary life out of the saddle.

But there is a darker side to Lester Piggott's life away from the fabulous horses and famous victories and he writes candidly about the handicap of deafness and the rigours of wasting to keep his weight down, the humiliation of his trial and conviction for tax fraud in 1987 and the experience of his term in prison.

Lester Piggott is the most enigmatic British sportsman of the century. Here at last is his own story.

James Bolam's numerous television, film and theatre credits include: When the Boat Comes In, The Likely Lads, The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner, O Lucky Man, A Kind of Loving, Glengarry Glen Ross, Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell, The Seagull. Most recently he has appeared in Wild Oats at the National Theatre. One of the UK's best-loved actors, he is also a familiar figure at racecourses, and breeds and owns horses himself.

Abridged, running time approximately 180 minutes
