The Tartan Legend Ken Buchanan The Autobiography by Ken Buchanan

Ken Buchanan was one of the greatest boxers ever produced in Britain. He regularly packed out boxing's greatest venue, Madison Square Garden in New York. Indeed, he even topped the bill when Mohammad Ali was on the undercard! But, like so many boxers, things began to go wrong when he started losing - his personal life fell apart and his money drained away. His story is packed with humour and insight about the events of his career, and the effort required to get to the top. It is also a poignant tale of a man who struggled to cope with what happened next, but found redemption in the end. About the Author: Ken Buchanan was born in Edinburgh in 1945. Undisputed lightweight boxing champion of the world from 1971-72, he lost his title to Roberto Duran. He retired from the ring in 1981. He was awarded the MBE, and was joint BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1971.
