A FORMER international footballer from Keighley has published his autobiography.
Mike Hellawell made over 170 appearances for Birmingham City in the 1950s and 60s and played for England – including around the victorious World Cup squad of 1966.
His top-flight career also included stints with QPR, Sunderland and Huddersfield Town.
And he was an accomplished cricketer, playing for Warwickshire and Yorkshire’s second XI.
The Impossible is Possible – Keep Right On til the End of the Road tells the story of how a Yorkshire lad ended-up ‘living the dream’. It includes his childhood, professional career, post-football life, Christian faith and marriage of more than 60 years to Brenda.
Mike says: “Over the years many people have asked me to write a book but until now I’ve never got round to it. I hope that my story will inspire others.”
The book is available now on eBook, at £4, or in paperback – priced £6 – from Amazon.
