OverviewTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER *REVISED AND UPDATED* 'I am the largest sports promoter in the world. I promote 11 sports to a global audience of billions of people every day of my life' __________ A larger than life working class hero, Romford born and bred - always ready with the perfect soundbite - Barry Hearn was famously described as 'roguish but never a rogue'. Hearn is credited with turning snooker into one of the biggest sports in Britain. He essentially turned a sport in which competitors wear bowties into a massive, globally televised event. Away from the table, his promotions empire casts its net over a dozen sports - from professional boxing to darts, fishing to ten-pin bowling - and his career spans four decades. He also previously owned Leyton Orient football club. Packed with hilarious anecdotes from the golden age of snooker, and behind-the-scenes insight into boxing negotiations and darts bust-ups, Hearn's book is a joy to read from start to finish. __________ Full Product DetailsAuthor: Barry HearnPublisher: Hodder & Stoughton Imprint: Hodder & Stoughton Dimensions: Width: 13.00cm , Height: 3.20cm , Length: 19.60cm Weight: 0.258kg ISBN: 9781529393347ISBN 10: 1529393345 Pages: 352 Publication Date: 25 May 2023 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.
