All Heart: My Story

By Michael Pinball Clemons

Book Overview

It's the feel good autobiography of the year - the uplifting story of Michael Pinball Clemons, the Canadian Football League superstar whose heart, talent and dedication are far bigger than his famed small 5'6 stature would indicate. One of the key factors in the Toronto Argonauts' three Grey Cup wins, Michael Clemons' gridiron talent is a story in itself, but it is his fight to get to the NFL and then CFL, that is revealing, entertaining, and above all, inspiring. All Heart is an autobiography that young people in particular should read, a story infused with Michael's quiet, yet incredibly strong and charismatic character, qualities which have made him one of our best-loved sports stars and a role model for kids. An inside look into two very different sports leagues and a man's true heart and soul, All Heart is one terrific read.

Customer Reviews

A great book about a great human being!

"All Heart" is not only the title of this book, but also an apt description of Michael Clemons. The book is written by Michael himself and he handles himself in this book with the same grace and dignity with which he plays football and lives his life. Clemons is a player who always speaks well of others and those who know him only from media interviews might expect this to be a sugar-coated book. Not so. Michael speaks honestly about the people and issues he has encountered in football. How can this man be so happy all the time? Read the book and you'll know his secret!

Why is this man always smiling ?

All Heart, the new book from Michael Clemons, gives us an insight into one of the finest athletes and human beings on the Canadian sporting scene. Pinball shows us again what a wonderful guy he really is. The antithesis of the modern pro athlete, he combines talent, humanity, humour, and class. All Heart is a journey through the professional and personal growth of an all-time Argonaut. You''ll see why this man is always smiling !!
