Episode 50 - Declan Murphy

April 28, 2017

The podcast reaches its half-century (mini-cheer!) and does so in style with what will be one of the best sport books this year. It is CENTAUR and tells the extraordinary story of jockey DECLAN MURPHY who suffered an horrific accident when thrown from his horse at Haydock Park. A following horse landed on his head, fracturing his skull. Murphy was read his last rites and the Racing Post published his obituary but within 18 months, amazingly he was back in the saddle. Declan still can't remember 4 years of his life - the 4 years when he was at his peak as a jockey - and worked with AMI RAO to write this superb book.
