The Adventures of Barry Briggs - WEMBLEY AND BEYOND - 910958 Heading back to to the land of his birth in 2011 will be the latest chapter in the former World Champion�s colourful life after 76 years of adventure, endeavour, success, failures and tragedy. And now residents down-under can �read all about it�, as he reveals everything in a deeply personal account of the ups and downs of life after speedway, as well as the exhilarating account of his rise to four World Championship titles. Always fearless on track and renowned as one of speedway�s all time greats, his story doesn�t end when he hung up his leathers and steel shoe. The book takes us on a journey of much more depth, including diamond mining in Liberia, facing the barrel of an AK-47 rifle, losing $43 million in 24 hours, teaching Steve McQueen to slide a speedway bike, plus the agonies of a son facing paralysis and a wife dying of cancer. One of the delights for readers is the raw language of the �kiwi� in him, and that is what jumps off the pages to make this �a book like no other, from a person like no other�.
