Beyond Four Walls: The Untold Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781840410419)

The memoir of a PE teacher, elite football coach and national handball staff coach - throughout his long career, Nenad 'Pop' Popovic has influenced the lives of many people and has any number of inspirational stories and humorous anecdotes to tell of the (sometimes) unconventional ways of obtaining the very best out of the young people under his tutelage.
During his own troubled childhood, growing up in a working class district of Manchester in the 1960s, the young Pop was subjected to racial abuse, caught up in conflict and disruption and eventually expelled from school. Facing a bleak future and with very little hope, fate guided the unruly adolescent Pop to one particular teacher - who changed his life forever.
Beyond Four Walls contains the untold stories of an illustrious life and career spanning fifty years in both education and sport - with a sprinkling of entrepreneurship, greyhound training and dexterous coach driving thrown into the mix.
From sports trips across Europe, coaching at soccer camps in the USA and even campaigning (successfully) against the closure of a school, Beyond Four Walls is the inside story of how one man helped shape the future of thousands of people, and how it almost never happened.
