The last action hero

Article Abstract:

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is an explorer who continues his occupation though there are few undiscovered locations left to explore. He was born after the death of his father, who died in North Africa in 1943, and he was brought up by his mother and grandmother, with three sisters, in South Africa. He later went to school in England, and studied at Eton, where he was teased for being pretty. He took up boxing at Eton to survive the teasing, and joined the army after he left school.

Anyone for tennis? Or an eggy sandwich?

Article Abstract:

It can be very hard to shake off the world of tennis, according to veteran tennis player Ilie Nastase. He dominated international tennis in the 1970s, but seemed to lack the great determination required to win the leading championships. He was extremely talented, but often failed to concentrate enough to use this talent to maximum effect. He has now become extremely wealthy, and does not need to work, but still likes to retain close connections with tennis.

Vinnie, man of letters

Article Abstract:

Former footballer Vinnie Jones indicates that his autobiography is designed to show people how he ended up in Hollywood after coming from very humble beginnings. He welcomes the fact that he is able to educate his children privately, as he feels that it broadens their horizons in ways he did not experience.
