John Flanner was a typical Midlands teenager, when just before his twentieth birthday, he was quickly robbed of nearly all his sight, by a hereditary condition. Already struggling with a host of phobias, a twilight existence beckoned on every level. He instead went on to lead a remarkable life, in which he triumphantly conquered his private fears, culminating in his Outstanding Achievement Award, at the very first national Civil Service Diversity Awards, in 2006. Along the way, the many twists and turns of his story, led to him offering precious help to many others in a variety of circumstances; from disaffected teenagers to bomb victims to a top-flight English football manager. FEAR, FUN & FAITH is an inspirational, humorous and occasionally miraculous story, of a sports-mad Brummie who learned to live with unexpected disability - and conquer his many fears.

John's story deserves to be told and anyone who reads this book, whether or not as an Aston Villa supporter, could not help but be inspired by his commitment, courage and faith. --Doug Ellis - former Chairman, Aston Villa FC
This book is not a Self-Help Guide and doesn t pretend to be. Instead, it is a frank revelation from someone who began to struggle with a host of fears from within, before being afflicted with unexpected disability from without. What followed, was plenty of tears and no-little dearth of embarrassing moments, before the process of overcoming such fears eventually proved triumphant. I fully endorse John Flanner on a personal and professional level. I hope you enjoy his story but more importantly, gain from it." --Rt. Hon. Lord Taylor of Warwick, House of Lords
You will be moved to tears, laughter and amazement as you read this book... --Graham Pearce - Senior Partner Pearcelegal LLP
