Full of hope and humour, rage and rehabilitation, this is an autobiography unlike any other.
Phil Quinlan was a sports-mad fifteen year old when he packed his bag one Sunday morning in 1989 to play a game of football. A clash of heads on the pitch changed his life forever. Falling into a coma, he was given a twenty-five-percent chance to live. He regained consciousness six weeks later, waking to a world filled with pain.
Full of hope and humour, rage and despair, this is Phil’s story of chronic pain and rehabilitation, travelling the globe and finding love.
A hugely inspirational tale of determination to overcome the results of a devastating injury.
Phil Quinlan played every sport on TV and represented his county in cross-country twice, but his life was suddenly and irreparably changed by a clash of heads playing football. Having defied the 25% chance of living odds, living with a disability, travelling the globe, finding love, Phil hopes his story is an inspirational one. Through all the hurt, rage and rehabilitation, trials and tribulations, he's living the dream now… Steve O'Rourke is a writer and former journalist. With bylines in Hot Press, The42, and ESPN, he has interviewed musicians, politicians, and Olympians. Once Ireland's only full-time NFL journalist, he has always believed that sport produces the best human-interest stories and dedicated his career to bringing those stories to life. He currently lives in Dublin with his wife and two children, and works in advertising.
