Hands of Stone - The Life and Legend of Roberto Duran by Christian Guidice.

[Realitycheck77]

This may well be "old news" to some of you, but I've just recently (yesterday) purchased the biography of Roberto Duran and very happy I am indeed.

The author is Christian Guidice who's based in the US, he actually left his friends, family and his job to go to Panama to write this biography of the great man. It's about 370 pages and seems to be well laid out, as I say I'm really looking forward to reading it.

It already looks good standing next to my other books featuring Great Sporting Legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Deigo Maradona, Ayrton Senna, Garrincha, and Ali to name a few.

I just thought I'd share my happiness with the forum.

The publisher is MILO Books and it's £17.99.

I'm in the UK so I went to Waterstones and got it.

The original release date was 5th Dec 06 but it was bought forward.

I also read about the strip joint in Hatton's book, funny!

Try www.waterstones.com - I've bought 2 copies as I'm planning on getting 1 signed by the great man when he comes to the UK again - does anybody know when he's coming to the UK again? I know it's one of those dinner's etc usually take place up south in the uk?
