Fifty Dad Tales

In 1988, my life was turned upside down. A serious injury threatened all my dreams. Medical experts told me that PE teaching and playing football again were a 'one in a million' shot.

My fight to prove them wrong dominated part of my life. Many people told me to share my story, to inspire resilience in others.

I wanted to do that, but my life was so much more than one incident. My upbringing, silly experiences, and beautiful children, brought me far more laughs than tears.

So rather than concentrate on just one aspect of my life, I decided to write 'Fifty Dad Tales: A light-hearted memoir of short stories without the boring bits.'

Oh, and before I wrote them, I told most of them to my two youngest children - their views certainly give many of the tales an added twist
