Fighting to Speak - Rugby, Rage & Redemption (Paperback): Mark Jones Fighting to Speak - Rugby, Rage & Redemption (Paperback)
Mark Jones; As told to Anthony Bunko

A talented yet ferocious player, and one of the acknowledged 'bad-boys' of rugby, Mark Jones' on-field brutality was a direct consequence of the off-field torment he suffered with a debilitating stammer. In Fighting to Speak, his revealing and uplifting autobiography, Jones explains how his frustration with his stutter led to a self-loathing and the internalising of an explosive hate that only playing rugby could release - with his unfortunate opponents often on the receiving end of his rage. Sent off six times and banned for over 33 weeks for violent conduct during his career, the dual-code Wales international and Great Britain RL forward was desperately unhappy and detested the thuggish reputation he'd created. After one exceptionally ugly incident, when he broke another player's eye socket, Jones realised that in order to defeat his demons and control his bad behaviour he needed help to conquer his stammer. Mark Jones fought and won the hardest battle of his life with a steely determination and has now found the inner peace and dignity he'd longed for as a young man. He has decided to tell his story in order to seek redemption for his violent past on the rugby field, and to help others overcome their stammers.

Spikey - 2 Hard to Handle - The Autobiography of Mike 'Spikey' Watkins (Paperback, 1st): Mike Watkins, Anthony Bunko Spikey - 2 Hard to Handle - The Autobiography of Mike 'Spikey' Watkins (Paperback, 1st)

R646 Discovery Miles 6 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

One of the most colourful and controversial characters in Welsh rugby history, Mike 'Spikey' Watkins remains the only player since 1882 to captain Wales on his debut, and win. Discarded by Cardiff RFC and banned by the WRU after the infamous 'Hookers Night Out' incident in November 1978, Spikey, who had regularly played for the Wales B team and was understudy to Bobby Windsor, thought his chance of a prized Welsh cap has disappeared. In this brutally frank and hard-hitting autobiography, 'Spikey' Watkins, the loveable rogue of Welsh rugby, lifts the lid on his roller-coaster playing career and explains how he fought back against the 'blazer-brigade' he despised, returned to captain a hugely successful Newport team and finally got the call from the WRU, due to public pressure from the supporters who adored him, to captain his country to victory against Ireland in 1984.

Hugh Jackman is a true Hollywood juggernaut. The magnetic Australian has joined countrymen Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe as an international superstar thanks to his role as Wolverine in the X-Men series, and is loved by fans worldwide thanks to his extremely varied career in film and theatre. When a young Jackman turned down a role in Neighbours to study at the prestigious WAAPA in Perth, his gamble would pay off handsomely. After a string of successful Australian musicals, Jackman's Hollywood break came as he was cast as Wolverine in 2000, catapulting him to heavyweight stardom. He has since reprised the role in box office hits The Last Stand, Origins and The Wolverine. Premium offers including 2006 animation Happy Feet, Baz Lurhmann's epic Australia - and even a rumoured shortlist spot for James Bond - soon followed. With a 2013 Academy Award nomination for his tour de force performance as Jean Valjean in the epic Les Miserables, and a star turn as Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past on the horizon, Hugh is set to dominate the silver screen for the foreseeable future.

Nerves of Steele - The Phil Steele Story (Paperback): Phil Steele, Anthony Bunko Nerves of Steele - The Phil Steele Story (Paperback)
Phil Steele, Anthony Bunko
R502 Discovery Miles 5 020 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Known to thousands of rugby fans as a knowledgeable, passionate and witty broadcaster, and as an entertaining and popular after-dinner speaker, Phil Steele's confident demeanour and humorous disposition mask a life-long battle against depression and anxiety heightened by heartbreak and tragedy in his personal life. Nerves of Steele is a remarkable story and reveals the real Phil Steele, a man known only by his very closest friends and family.The Cardiff-born 'Ely Boy', who dreamed of playing for Wales, suffered his first bout of debilitating clinical depression when he saw his promising rugby career with Newport RFC wrecked by injury at only 23, just as his eye-catching performances had earned him a call up to the Wales B squad.The curse of mental illness and its malevolent twin, chronic anxiety, hung over Phil for years, who describes his suffering as 'like living under a cloak of constant unease' and at times even sapped his will to go on living. His vulnerability was repeatedly tested by losing both patents whilst still in his twenties, his younger sister to alcoholism and his beloved wife Liz who died from a brain tumour aged 48, only a month after being diagnosed.Nerves of Steele is, however, an uplifting story of how, despite all the mental anguish and personal tragedy, Phil's determination, strength of character and infectious personality has enabled him to conquer his condition and live a full and rewarding personal and professional life. With mental illness believed to affect one in every four people, Nerves of Steele will resonate with those that have experienced it themselves as well as their loved ones who've also been affected by it - and offer them all real hope for the future.

A biography of the Golden Globe-winning actor behind Dr. Gregory House From "Blackadder" to "A Bit of Fry""and Laurie," "Jeeves and Wooster" to "House," Hugh Laurie has entertained millions in a career spanning three decades, and here is his story. This biography covers his early years--born in Oxford, where his father, WGRM "Ran" Laurie, was a doctor who won a gold medal in the coxless pairs at the 1948 Olympics.

The book covers his years at university when he met Stephen Fry, and the pair forged a hilarious partnership that continued through the 1980s and 1990s. It also discusses his great success on the big screen; starring in "Sense and Sensibility," "101 Dalmatians," "Monsters vs Aliens," and the three "Stuart Little" films. It also discusses the character of irascible doctor Gregory House in the drama "House--"the role""that has brought global fame, two Golden Globes, a prestigious Emmy nomination in 2005, and critical acclaim.

Demons and Cocktails - My Life with "Stereophonics" (Paperback): Stuart Cable, Anthony Bunko Demons and Cocktails - My Life with "Stereophonics" (Paperback)
Stuart Cable, Anthony Bunko 1

When news filtered through the media that Stuart Cable, the drummer with a larger than life personality - and an even larger head of curly hair - had been unceremoniously sacked from one of the biggest rock bands in the UK, the music world was stunned. Stuart Cable has been a fun-loving rocker since he was a young lad, and growing up in the same village in south Wales as his Stereophonics bandmates, Kelly and Richard, it was never going to be long before he began jamming for real. By his early twenties they were performing in local working men's clubs and by the mid-1990s they were signed up by Richard Branson. The rest, as they say, is history, and in this laugj-out-loud autobiography Stuart spills the truth on the unbelievable journey he had with one of the greatest British rock bands of all times. Life hasn't all been a party, though - there were dark and difficult times for Stuart. But now he is launching his quest for superstardom once again, drumming for another band, Killing for Company, and hosting his own radio show.
