I enjoyed this autobiography and feel really honoured to review it through my membership of NetGalley. She reveals the battles she fought for hard-won success in two careers and gives us a ringside seat on the nation's biggest sporting dramas, and a fascinating insider's understanding of competitors under pressure, such a shame injuries plagued her last few years. A quite, honest, sincere women, great career, but also a larger and fuller television career, and one thing is for sure. The BBC could have treated her better although I was not a fan of question of sport, they could have handled it better and now look at it! At times it lacked some depth but I respect that choice by her to maintain privacy and I don’t think an autobiography needs necessarily to be a soul bearing exercise.

I loved the honesty, the humour and the insight into the tennis life, the presenter life and the private life. For anyone who is a fan of tennis star Sue or just loved her on a question of sport this is the book for you. This is an interesting read of one of this countries favourite personalities that I enjoyed a lot more than I expected to.

I liked sue barker it was interesting to hear how hard she worked to become world number 3 and win the French open a lot of effort and dedication well 👏 done.

I’d imagine she would be fun in the bar with her stories and she definitely would have an opinion on most players and their game. I found the journey to becoming a tennis star really interesting and it is forgotten with her broadcast career what an amazing player she was. Of course I love a tennis biography but was delighted to hear that Sue Barker was releasing one so soon after retiring from Wimbledon coverage. She anchored SPOTY for 19 years, was quizmaster on A Question of Sport for 24 years and fronted coverage of Wimbledon for three decades.She is clearly immensely proud of her broadcast career and it struck me that it would seem more than her tennis career, but not really surprising given the span of her broadcasting. I am not a big Tennis fan but did enjoy watching Wimbledon back in the days of Borg, McEnroe and Connors. Sue was born on April 19th 1956 and she started her tennis career as a ten-year-old pupil at her Convert school in Paignton.
