Only Here For The Beer - Gerry Marshall

OUT NOW -  Paperback  -  Price: £14.99 ISBN: 1 84425307 4The death of Gerry Marshall on Thursday 21st April 2005 robbed us of one of the legends of British motorsport. Public reaction was so overwhelming in the media, and at the funeral attended by literally hundreds, that the author and publisher knew this biography must be reissued in tribute to the great man. First published in 1978, this wonderfully entertaining book captures perfectly the character of one of life’s great entertainers.

Gerry’s outrageous behaviour, humour, outspokenness and legendary capacity for alcohol combined to ensure that no social event with his presence will ever be forgotten, while his amazing car control, tenacity and natural showmanship provided wonderful entertainment for thousands of racegoers over a 40-year career in which he won more than 600 races.
