PETER COLLINS: MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
FOOTBALL WORLD
2022
nidottu
From Belle Vue to Brisbane, Crewe to California, in a glittering 18-year career he captivated crowds wherever he rode with his spectacular dashes from the back that set hearts and pulses racing and won him every honour the oval shale sport has to offer. His 10 FIM gold medals include five World Team Cup and four World Pairs victories – more than any other English rider has ever achieved. A record 154 international England or Great Britain caps will almost certainly never be emulated. Much revered PC’s greatest individual triumph came in Slaski Stadium, Katowice, Poland on September 5, 1976. Aged 22, the former farmer’s boy from the Manchester suburb of Partington in Cheshire, swept to World Championship glory in typical all-action style that thrilled the 120,000-plus crowd and millions more watching on TV. It was the culmination of a dream inspired by his boyhood hero Peter Craven. During the 1970s and early 80s, Peter became a national hero who adorned the back pages of the UK tabloids, a true sporting superstar whose track exploits and hectic globetrotting lifestyle earned him bigger pay days than those of contemporary international footballers. In his long-awaited autobiography, Collins – the head of speedway’s most famous racing dynasty – shines a very insightful light on a magical period when his daring deeds were the embodiment of his sport’s last golden age. As well as taking readers on a long and eventful journey through his illustrious grasstrack, speedway and longtrack racing career spanning from 1970 until 1987, Peter also reveals the inside stories on major controversies – the ‘disgraceful’ tracks and freak injuries that probably cost him more major titles, possible bike sabotage, a heated row with an England team-mate, fun and fisticuffs on Down Under tours with the British Lions, rejecting a tempting offer to leave his beloved Belle Vue, and how his brief stint as the Aces’ promoter ended acrimoniously after he’d led the fight to save the world famous Manchester club from possible extinction.
The Crowned Heart series is the popular and inspiring collection of stories for young readers, drawn from Lights of Fortitude. It introduces beloved heroines of the Faith."How many queens of the world have laid down their heads on a pillow of dust and disappeared... Not so the handmaids who ministered at the Threshold of God; these have shone forth like glittering stars in the skies of ancient glory, shedding their splendours across all the reaches of time."⏤ Abdu'l-Bah .This is the story of Hand of the Cause of God, Amelia Collins. This easy-to-read story is accompanied by exquisite watercolour illustrations by Sanaz.

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the complete works of Wilkie Collins’s. Examining his vast array of novels and short stories, this volume includes analysis of the social, historical, and political commentary Collins offered within his works, illuminating Collins as more than a successful crime and sensation author, or the fortunate recipient of Dicken’s grand patronage, but as a hard-thinking and lively-writing part of the rich mid-Victorian literary scene. Overall, Collins is seen as a master of narratives which deal with social and personal issues that were much debated in his fifty-year authorial period. Close attention is paid to the events, themes, and characterization in his fiction, revealing his analytic vigor and the literary power of that period and context. Delivering fresh insight into the variety and richness of Collins’ themes and arguments, this volume provides a key source of information and analysis on all Collins’ fiction.
