Calling The Shots My Autobiography by Sue Barker Hardcover Signed

On offer a hardcover “Calling The Shots My Autobiography” by Sue Barker, signed on the title page by the author Sue Barker

This is the remarkable life story of a tennis champion, an award-winning broadcaster who has brought sporting history into our living rooms for decades, and a trail-blazing woman who has always called the shots.

Rewind to 1971, and Sue Barker’s coach is sending his 15-year-old tennis protégé to a junior championship in France, alone, with a one-way ticket, telling her she’d have to win the money to pay for her return fare. Sue hides in the grounds of the hosting tennis club overnight, to avoid paying for a hotel. The next day, she walks onto court and smashes it. Five years later, and she’s Britain’s No 1.

The same combination of grit, grace and talent took her to the top of live Sports TV.

Going all in for her once-only autobiography, Sue takes us inside the showbiz world of 70s and early 80s tennis, dating the stars, hitting the headlines. She reveals the battles she fought for hard-won success in two careers, gives us a ringside seat on the nation’s biggest sporting dramas, and a fascinating insider’s understanding of competitors under pressure.
