The Man Behind the Mike’ is a wonderful tribute to Mike Tucker, giving us fascinating insight to his life in horses from those who knew him best. A mix of autobiographical quotes and those from friends an colleagues, it interweaves into a rich tapestry so fitting for a man whose voice and personality was known and loved throughout equestrianism.
Wallace has succeeded in creating both a biography and a tribute to Tucker, marshalling both Mike’s words and those of his friends and colleagues. A fitting tribute.
A fantastic book which gives a tremendous insight of the late Mike Tucker. The Man Behind the Mike should be on everyone’s read list – a superb tribute to someone who gave so much to the sport.
Jane Wallace has done a heroic job in completing this book and has thoroughly done justice to a quite irreplaceable man of great passion, kindness and, above all, humour.
