The World According to Foggy

by Carl Fogarty

Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Superbike World Championship, The World According to Foggy will delight the legions of motor sport fans in the UK and beyond, and will be lapped by those who have enjoyed books by Valentino Rossi, Guy Martin, Michael Dunlop, John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson and Freddie Spencer.

Foggy's scintillating new book takes his fans into the memory banks of this most charismatic and straight-talking of sporting icons, transporting them into the weird and wonderful world of this endearingly quirky hero of the track.

The World According to Foggy contains lashings of adrenaline-fuelled bikes and electrifying bike racing, thrills and spills galore, but it will also reveal the man behind the helmet, his passions and frustrations, what makes him still leap out of bed in the morning and seize the day - ultimately, what makes this great man tick and explains his enduring popularity.

As you would expect, Carl Fogarty tells it as it is from cricket to fishing to Brexit, not much escapes a comment from Carl. As you can imagine, he's always entertaining but he does open up about his battles with mental health when his career was ended by injury.

I found it very heavy going.

An entertaining and interesting read from one of motorcycle racings' best. This is not the best written book I have ever read but that is not bad as it seems as though Foggy has actually written it his self. Stories of excessive drinking with rugby legend Dallaglio and the inevitable lots of motorcycle crashes as well as a little behind the scenes chat about "I'm a celebrity" keep the reader interested throughout.
I might check out Foggys' autobiography (which he apologises for).

I suppose I was assuming this would have more talk about general things, rather than more specific motoring things. He didn't come across as a particularly nice person, given some of his opinions and things but its a fairly easy and quick read. Its ok.
