'The story of Randolph Turpin is in the classic mould of rags to riches but then, regrettably, bag to rags again.  Author Jack Birtley say Turpin fight as a boy and later became a family friend - always his admirer.  He spent over three years researching in order to write this book and the result is not simply a biography of a man who fought - almost literally - out of the slums of Leamington, but an analysis ... a reason why Turpin went up in the ranks of boxers, and came down so tragically ending his life with suicide.'
