"Like every man who ever laced on gloves, I dreamed of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. But for me it was always the impossible dream, the unreachable star. The politics of the day were against it. The bar was up." LARRY GAINS
First published in 1976, The Impossible Dream tells the remarkable story of Larry Gains, a man who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected boxers of his generation.
This restored and expanded 50th Anniversary Edition brings back his powerful autobiography, with a new preface by his grandson, Larry Gains Jr, reflecting on his grandfather's legacy and enduring impact. It also includes a special afterword by Brian Dear, West Ham United hero of the 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup, reflecting on his friendship with Larry Gains, alongside new material and tributes from Colin McMillan, Jawaid Khaliq MBE, Tony Gee, Russ Anber, and many more.
Presented for a new generation, this special anniversary edition celebrates not only a boxing pioneer, but a man whose courage, dignity, and determination continue to inspire all who strive to overcome adversity.
Net proceeds from this edition support the Larry Gains Statue Campaign in the UK.
