Don Mullan was a young dyslexic boy growing up in a Northern
Ireland being violently torn apart by The Troubles. Having
witnessed Bloody Sunday he was tempted to join the IRA, as many of
his contemporaries did. But the boy had a hero. And he was English.
This is the story of how Don was mesmerised at an early age by the
great England 1966 World Cup winning goalkeeper, Gordon Banks. In
1970 he met Banks in Ireland and the encounter was to have a
profound impact on Don and a primary reason why he rejected
violence. A powerful, moving and unforgettable story, The Boy Who
Wanted to Fly is for everyone who's ever had a hero. Includes: an
interview with Gordon Banks and details of the battle to create a
monument to the great goalkeeper. Don Mullan is the author of
best-selling Eyewitness Bloody Sunday and a respected humanitarian.
He is currently involved in numerous international projects.
