LINDRUM: Family, Nation & Sport book

LINDRUM:Family, Nation & Sport

Who does a champion’s story truly belong to?

LINDRUM: Family, Nation & Sport is a deeply personal, compelling study of my father’s life, which formed an integral part of the LINDRUM LEGEND.

The book poses an important question: does a champion’s story truly belong to the record books — or to the family, the nation and the sport or enterprise that shaped that champion? The central argument is a powerful one with broad appeal.

IF YOU LOVE family sagas dripping in drama, you won’t be able to put this book down.
