Here’s the latest special offer for our loyal supporters – a free, signed copy of a book written by the editor of Inside Croydon!
For a limited period, while (very limited) stocks last, any reader who takes makes an annual subscription payment to Inside Croydon can claim a free copy of Usain Bolt: The story of the world’s fastest man, written by Steven Downes.
No longer available in shops or even online, the book charts the meteoric rise of one of the greatest characters in sporting history, the fastest man the world has ever seen, leading to his date with destiny at the 2012 London Olympics.
Meticulously researched by the award-winning author, including interviews with one of the greatest athletes of all time, the book follows the career of the Jamaican gold medal-winner from his earliest international races when a teenager and a junior through to the night of his breathtakingly quick 9.58sec 100 metres world record set in Berlin.
For all new subscribers, and any monthly subscribers who upgrade, this free gift will come signed* – though by the author, not the book’s subject.
