Olympic gold medallist Darren Campbell is one of Britain's most
successful and popular athletes, yet the real story behind his
success has not been made public, until now. Track Record, his
long-awaited autobiography, reveals how a boy from painfully humble
beginnings in Moss Side, Manchester, and who suffered bullying at
school, was inspired by Carl Lewis at the 1984 Olympics to harness
his athletic ability and break out of a cycle of misbehaviour and
petty crime to enjoy huge success in sport, business and as a
broadcaster. Despite his early promise as a young sprinter Darren
explains how, totally disillusioned with the use of
performance-enhancing drugs in athletics, he turned to football
where he played at a semi-professional level for Cwmbran Town,
Weymouth FC and was offered a contract at Plymouth Argyle. His
realisation, however, that he could either continue to be a decent
lower league footballer, or return to the track and become a world
class sprinter, saw him link-up with coach Linford Christie and
achieve great success, winning a host of gold, silver and bronze
medals at major championships, including silver in the 200m at the
2000 Sydney Olympics, and gold in the 4 x 100m at the 2004 Athens
Olympics Spurred into finally telling his story after suffering a
life-threatening condition in 2018, Track Record is the
heart-warming and inspirational life-story of a talented,
principled and determined man who overcame economic poverty and
racial prejudice to triumph on the athletic tracks of the world.
