Stan: Tackling My Demons
Stan: Tackling My Demons
Author: Stan Collymore (Usually dispatched within 24 hours)
OPINIONS DO CHANGELike a majority of people, Stan is remembered as the man who hit Ulrika. Having read his book, I was surprised how openly he discussed his problems, in his day he was an excellent player (one of my favourites) I felt sorry for him. Stan was persecuted by the media. I am not saying that what he did was right but in life we all make mistakes and are allowed to move on, due to the media Stan wasn’t. In writing this book he has open up and explained his illness which cannot be easy for anyone. My only hope is that Stan can find some peace in his life, he does deserve it.
Good Luck and God bless you Stan.
boring
I have just completed this book and found it to be totally boring. All the problems that Stan has encountered has never been his fault, it has always been the fault of either his father, his coach or his girlfriend. Sometimes it is almost cringeable the way he talks himself up, about what he could have been if only he was managed properly…etc. etc.. Everyone seems to be to blame except Stan Collymore. I also found it totally unacceptable the way he went into detail about his personal adult exploits with no concern for the people in the public eye he was writing about. An embarrassing read.
6 stars if I could - Stan the Man.
Got this book christmas day, had it done by boxing day. Best autobiography Ive read and Ive read tons. Makes you wonder why Michael Owen had released a book,what story has he got to tell?Ooo couple of goals here and there,anythin significant?Collymores story is very sad however very warming,on what was a fantastic footballer but was sadly worn out by personal problems.Also learn what a set of looneys,and how shocking the media behave in todays society.This story confirms Collymore is not a monster,disgrace of society - just an ill man who was superb at the sport loves, trying his best to recover. Read it,nuff said.Well in Stan the Man.
