Mike Smith

In April 1914, Burnley Football Club won the FA Cup, beating Liverpool in the Final at the Crystal Palace in front of His Majesty, King George V. It was the first time that the reigning monarch had attended a Cup Final and presented the trophy to the winners. The Road To Glory travels back in time to see how Burnley progressed in the FA Cup from 1885, through 30 years of failure, ending in victory in 1914. Mike Smiths book draws on match reports of the pre-WW1 period, football programmes and other archive sources, and is generously illustrated throughout with photographs of the period. The Road To Glory takes the reader on a journey back to the days when the FA Cup was the greatest football competition in the world.

One of the most gifted centre-halves of his day, Burnley captain Tommy Boyle won all of English footballs major honours; the FA Cup, League Championship and he represented England at international level. But once his playing days were over and after run-ins with the police and local authorities, the former international footballer was sent to Whittingham Mental Hospital, a former lunatic asylum.Broken Hero traces Boyles career from his early days working as a miner in the militant South Yorkshire coalfield, to the proud day he became the first captain to be presented with the FA Cup by His Majesty, King George V. The story covers Boyles experiences during the First World War where he served in the Royal Field Artillery and was badly wounded. The doctors gave him little chance of ever playing again, but he proved them all wrong and made a remarkable comeback to crown his career by leading Burnley to the Football League title in 1921. Tommy Boyle - Broken Hero tells the story of a great character and explores the circumstances that led to one of footballs first celebrity players being locked away in a mental hospital for the rest of his life unable to tell his story. Until now.

INTRODUCTION--------------------------------------------------(I Will Praise You in This Storm) I have heard it said that any life worth living is one worth recording. My life has been filled with treatments for severe alcohol addiction and several stays in mental wards. I was placed on civil commitments in two states. I have suffered tremendous loss and torment due to my mental illness and addiction. I have had several major manic breaks which ended up shaking me to my very core every time. I have lived most of my life terrified of my own shadow and afraid to step into the light of Gods truth and loving arms. I accepted Christ into my heart as my Lord and Savior on September 8, 1988. I then questioned His ability to truly make a meaningful difference in my life, so I turned back to the gutter. Through all of the drunken, heartbreaking days and nights, God never let go. God let me run as far as I could until I reached the absolute end of myself. I became homeless and had nothing. I went from living in a homeless shelter to buying my own house in one year. Twenty-three veterans per day take their own lives. I hope by sharing my story I can offer hope to everyone who is hurting and struggling with their own issues. Everyone suffers. However, God uses broken people to minister to other hurting souls.

Como de costumbre, el conductor arrancó el motor de su autobús e inició su ruta. Fue recorriendo las paradas habituales, recogiendo a los pasajeros de siempre, hasta que, de repente, guiado por la sed de aventura, giro emocionado por un desconocido camino que le llevo a nuevos y diferentes lugares, paradas y pasajeros. ¿A donde se dirigen?, le preguntaban. ¡A cualquier parte!, les decia el conductor. ¡Estamos de aventura!. ¡Ah, vale!, respondian y subian animados al autobus.
