Timbo Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Does anybody know where I could get hold of a copy of Erik's apparently 'very moving' book :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojolav Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Watch this space I will get back to you. I read this book when I was 16 ( I am a Cov supporter) but a great fan of Erics. It is indeed very moving not just apparantly and I am trying to get a copy myself. If however anyone beats me to it then great it saves me searching all resources.

KevH Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I can cofirm what has been said before, that Erik's book is indeed a very moving and thought provoking story. It is the kind of book which should be introduced into the National Curriculum as it makes you realise just how fragile a life can be. The paragraphs refering to Erik's dilema about getting on the train will remain with me for the rest of my life. Don't rest until you've read it!

Thanks Jojolav, from what others have said on the subject I must get hold of a copy somehow. Apparently Erik is about to become a kindergarten teacher in the near future.

Grachan Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Try here: http://www.leisurecollectables.com/speedway/ It's listed in the Books section for one and a half English pounds, but I see no reason why they wouldn't send it to Aus.

Jayne Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I also think that this is a fantastic book. I was never an Erik fan but was there on that fateful day at Bradford and can honestly say that I have never forgotten it - I can still see the crash in my mind. I followed Erik's progress after the accident in both the speedway and local press. The book is very moving and I shed a tear or two whilst reading it. I too went to his farewell meeting and he very kindly signed my book for me as best as he could. Erik has fought back from his horrendous injuries and you can only admire him for it and I wish him all the best. It is nice to know that he has rebuilt his life and has a new challenge ahead in teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
