The Autobiography of Colin Jackson

Overview

One of the greatest athletes ever to come out of the United Kingdom, Colin Jackson has defied injury and the athlete's typically short career span to become a champion hurdler of previously unheard of longevity. Jackson won his fourth European 110m hurdle title in August 2002 and has ranked in the world's top ten hurdlers every year since 1986. He has recorded more fast times than any other hurdler and holds the world record for the 110 metres. In this book he speaks candidly for the first time about drugs, corruption, and mismanagement, as well as his relationships with the greats of British athletics.
