Reseña del libro "Dropkick Murphy: A Legendary Life (en Inglés)"

Newspaperscalled him the "the man with the cast-iron toes," "the best drop-kicker inwrestling," and "one of the mat game's biggest box office attractions." But Dr.John "Dropkick" Murphy legacy extends far beyond the wrestling ring. Decadesbefore the Betty Ford Center became a household name -- and long before the bandthe Dropkick Murphys named themselves in his honor -- the phrase going toDropkick's meant a person struggling with addiction needed help and would soonget some This book, for the first time, chronicles the unbelievable life of Dr. "Dropkick" Murphy, a professionalwrestler who put himself through medical school during the Great Depression andthen opened Bellows Farm, a one-of-a-kind institution that served as both a facilitywhere elite athletes could train as well as a secluded place wheredown-on-their-luck alcoholics could go to sober up discreetly. Thecelebrities who frequented Dropkick Murphy's farm were many, and numerous professionalathletes would go there to focus on their training and work out in hisstate-of-the-art gymnasium. As a result, Bellows Farm featured an unrivaled andrevolving cast of colorful characters who brought it to life. Drawing on yearsof research and interviews, author Emily Sweeney goes behind the scenes toreveal the untold story of Murphy's life, his farm, and the legendary eventsthat unfolded there.
