From the author of the critically acclaimed memoir The Boy on the Shed comes a powerful tale of grit and resilience told with great humour openness and profound bravery
Former Newcastle United winger Paul Ferris was 51 He had successfully forged a postfootball career as a physio barrister and then a CEO and his awardwinning memoir The Boy on the Shed was just about to be published But then he was diagnosed with prostate cancer This honest sometimes brutal and frequently funny book tells the story of what happened next
Prostate cancer Its a phrase that strikes fear into the heart of every man Its the most common male cancer but treatable if its caught early enough Paul doesnt shy away from describing that treatment And neither does he hold back on its lifechanging consequences from harrowing surgery humiliating procedures and excruciating consultations as he strives to become the man he once was again
The mental challenges and psychological impact of living with this acute condition are explored in Pauls revealing and riveting narrative that represents rare male honesty but this is never a poor me book or not in any way selfpitying Courageous inspirational and beautifully written The Magic in the Tin is a rare thing deeply moving yet rich in humour written by a true sportsman in every sense of the word
A brutal and poignant account of one mans journey through prostate cancer
