Managed to get this from a bookshop in spalding for a bargain 1.99 obviously i am biased towards Herbie as he used to go to the same boarding school as me, but some of his references to the school cast my memories back, also a few of the photos too.
All in all a decent read and well worth a few quid, not the easiest of lives nor childhoods our Herbie had, so hats off to him for achieving what he has achieved.
Herbie Hides autobiography - Nothing but trouble
Re: Herbie Hides autobiography - Nothing but trouble
It is on sale at Poundland & I bought it. Good value for a £1. Personally I thought it was an excellent read.
Some of the usual nonsense in though. " I would have beaten Lennox Lewis, because he could only draw with Holyfield & I was better than Holyfield. Accidently picking the prostitute up & how he was beating Riddick Bowe & got just got unlucky, but all in all a very enjoyable read.

Proof: He beat Tucker, who beat McCall, who beat Lewis, who could only draw with Holyfield.
Re: Herbie Hides autobiography - Nothing but trouble
I read Micheal Murrays autobiography - it was called something like a journeymans story and was written while he was still active! And apart from the usual, I could have been world heavyweight champion and I always got home-town decisions against me, it was a very good read! I'm sure it did the pound land thing just after it was written aswell!!!

The only surprise is that in writing his biography he made it to the present day, one would have presumed he'd be dropped half way through.
