No Limits - Ian Poulter - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

An autobiography from golf''s freshest, most individual voice Ian Poulter is one of golf''s most charismatic figures, with an appeal extending way beyond his sport. Here he tells his inspirational story, from his early rejection as an Spurs youth player, right through to his match-winning contributions to successive European Ryder Cup Triumphs. Poulter went from an Assistant Professional staffing the club shop to a global superstar, turning pro when he still had a handicap of 4 but the drive and self-belief to make it to the top. His infectious optimism, will power and flair have ensured he remains one of the biggest names on the tour. As well as insights into the crucial moments in his career, and the life of a professional golfer, he talks about his passions outside the game, including his own riotous brand of clothing. Just as Poulter''s appearance on the scene came as a refreshing antidote to a sport that was staid and stuffy, so his own book is as forthright and passionate as Poults himself.

*AS READ ON BBC RADIO 4 ''BOOK OF THE WEEK''* ''Lip-lickingly, dance-around-the-living-room good... A smash hit'' Observer ''Unflinching and heartwarming'' - Adam Kay ''Tender, clever and as funny as it gets ... a heart-piercing joy'' - Lauren Laverne ''An exceptional coming-of-age story [...] Pete Paphides may very well have the biggest heart in Britain'' - Marina Hyde ''I ADORE this utterly wonderful coming-of-age memoir. Joyful, clever, and a bit heartbreaking'' - Nina Stibbe __________ ''Do you sometimes feel like the music you''re hearing is explaining your life to you?'' When Pete''s parents moved from Cyprus to Birmingham in the 1960s in the hope of a better life, they had no money and only a little bit of English. They opened a fish-and-chip shop in Acocks Green. The Great Western Fish Bar is where Pete learned about coin-operated machines, male banter and Britishness.Shy and introverted, Pete stopped speaking from age 4 to 7, and found refuge instead in the bittersweet embrace of pop songs, thanks to Top of the Pops and Dial-A-Disc. From Brotherhood of Man to UB40, from ABBA to The Police, music provided the safety net he needed to protect him from the tensions of his home life. It also helped him navigate his way around the challenges surrounding school, friendships and phobias such as visits to the barber, standing near tall buildings and Rod Hull and Emu.With every passing year, his guilty secret became more horrifying to him: his parents were Greek, but all the things that excited him were British. And the engine of that realisation? ''Sugar Baby Love'', ''Don''t Go Breaking My Heart'', ''Tragedy'', ''Silly Games'', ''Going Underground'', ''Come On Eileen'', and every other irresistibly thrilling chart hit blaring out of the chip shop radio.Never have the trials and tribulations of growing up and the human need for a sense of belonging been so heart-breakingly and humorously depicted. *Listen along with Pete''s BROKEN GREEK playlist on Spotify* ''Heartfelt, hilarious and beautifully written, Broken Greek is a childhood memoir like no other'' - Cathy Newman ''So wonderfully written, such a light touch. Drenched in sentiment yet not in the least sentimental'' - John Niven ''It''s brilliant. Sad, really funny and beautifully written ... just fantastic'' - Alexis Petridis ''A truly beautiful book'' - James O''Brien ''Intoxicating'' - Kirsty Wark ''Oh, how I love Pete Paphides and this book'' - Daniel Finkelstein ''A balm in these times '' David Nicholls ''Fantastic ...

A girl has been found dead, seemingly strangled, in the hotel room of movie star Jumbo Nelson. Jumbo''s lawyers want Spenser to find out whether Jumbo did it - not because they care either way, but because the knowledge will help them work out how to block his conviction. Jumbo is a sufficiently repulsive individual that Spenser finds it hard to contain his distaste. And then there is his bodyguard, Zebulon Sixkill, a Cree Indian who squandered his pro-football career thanks to an inability to control his temper, and turned his attentions to alcohol instead. Also involved in Jumbo''s case for reasons that remain unclear is a cold-blooded assassin who just might be the most dangerous enemy Spenser has faced yet. But if he can persuade Sixkill to turn his life around, Spenser might just have the ally he needs...
