Items related to McCoy: The Autobiography
Tony McCoy wins one in every three races he rides in. He is now the country's most successful jockey, with 289 race winners in one season, beating the record set by Sir Gordon Richards fifty-five years ago.
McCoy, known as AP, is in a class of his own in a sport where he risks serious injury or death every time he participates. Last season he told no one but his physio that his leg was broken in two places. He just strapped the ankle and carried on winning.
Every season, more records fall to him and more rivals are left in his wake.
This is a must read for his army of devoted fans.

Product Description:
Horse-racing autobiography. 8vo. 282pp. Dust-wrapper, very good. Signed by McCoy in ink to title-page.
Synopsis:
Seven-time champion jockey Tony McCoy is a phenomenon. In April 2002 he rode more winners in a season than anyone else in history, shattering the record set by the great Sir Gordon Richards fifty-five years earlier. Just four months later he rode his 1,700th winner to beat Richard Dunwoody's career record and become the greatest jump jockey in history. McCoy - A.P. to his army of fans - is in a class of his own in a sport where he risks serious injury every time he participates. In the 2000/2001 season he told no one but his physio that his ankle was broken in two places. He just strapped it up and carried on winning. Together with trainer Martin Pipe, he has changed the face of jump racing sustained on little more than sweet tea and a Jaffa cake, such is the battle to keep his weight unnaturally low. He performs feats of staggering heroism, on a diet that nutritionists would suggest is barely enough for him to stand up. In his autobiography, Tony McCoy tells the story of how the school-hating, horse-loving kid from Northern Ireland fought his way to the top, through triumph, tragedy, laughter and sacrifice.
