Eric Hughes, the Club's President, who masterminded the women's section to becoming one of the best in Europe, has written an autobiography that portrays his personal, sporting and business escapades involving more than three decades as manager of the Sale Harrier's women's teams.

This compelling and extremely readable book is a fascinating insight into Eric's passion, commitment, determination and boundless energy that brought him success from a modest early life, to owning his own textile business. Travelling the world and enjoying a football career that included playing for his beloved Manchester City, he simultaneously developed the Club's women's section from its embryonic state to constantly winning track, road and cross country titles. Representing Britain in the top echelons of European team competition and himself undertaking important executive responsibilities within European athletics.

Eric's years with Sale Harriers uncover nightmare scenarios of taking groups of young females across Europe, incidents of hospitalisation, missed flights, securing visas, inappropriate accommodation, getting lost, financial difficulties and so much more. Eric's humour and light heartedness is reflected in his handling of some awesome problems.

If there's a book that is a testament to tenacity and success, modestly written, this is it! If you are involved with Sale Harriers and want to read an absorbing autobiography and benefit from its insights, the book can be easily obtained from Amazon at £10.99 or from Eric himself who is holding limited stock at the moment.
