  Andy a fearsome boxer tells his story with frankness and honesty, a true fly on the wall gritty and sometimes heartbreaking read an inspirational story nonetheless, Andy describes his journey to sobriety finding his faith and how all the fights in his career were nothing compared to the biggest fight against alcoholism and addiction. I couldn't put this book down until I'd read it from cover to cover. Excellent!

• Dean Trevis

  I've read the first two chapters and I can honestly say it's certainly is from the heart and I can so resonate with you. Thanks Andy for wearing your heart on your sleeve and digging so so deep when you thought that life was slipping away from you. The words just flow because they are honest and true. Thank You.

• K.Flavell

  A gripping story of a boxer who struggled between professionalism and hedonism. During his career, Andy has beat, contended and stayed on his feet against some of the world's best fighters. His most formidable opponent though came in the form of alcohol, one which holds on and does not fight within the rules - Leaving Andy having to give the battle to a greater power.

• Dave Payne (former champion boxing trainer)

  1st I would live to congratulate Andy on his amazing book I found it so interesting & inspirational & secondly I’m sure if he would have found Jesus earlier in his life he would have definitely been a world champion no doubt but that is the lesson of life god bless you.

• John

  Andy Flutes book shows one that no matter what background one has, God is mindful of each adversity. Beyond doubt Roman’s 8:28 proves to anyone who has come out of darkness that God loves us that His word is true, and our whole life is one big coat of many colours being stitched together by the Masters hand.
  In his book “Jesus in my Corner” Andy chronicles his struggles to overcome alcohol and drug addiction. Despite a legacy of extreme violence, drug and alcohol addiction Andy the former Captain of the English Boxing Team and World Middleweight title challenger had a miraculous turnaround and found Jesus in his corner.
  Andy’s makes no apologies for his book which pulls no punches and is very gritty in its narrative.
  His book demonstrates that Jesus seeks to save those who are truly lost in darkness.

• Michael Bully

  A very candid read. Andy Flute depicts his struggle for success in the boxing world. Accompanied by drinking bouts, drug taking, violence away from the ring. He reached great heights in Boxing, could even invest in property and run his own pub as a freehouse. But then his triumph was eroded by alcoholism and drug use. The physical harm, the depression, the destruction of his family life leading to violence, are compelling reading. The combination of finding his new and supportive partner Angela and his growing Christian faith, along with help from Alcoholics Anonymous led to Andy battling alcoholism and wining.
  What is particularly endearing was that Andy didn't suddenly find all his issues miraculously vanishing once he attended church. But his faith slowly led him through his own underworld, with obstacles and setbacks on the way, to baptism.
  The book is obviously of interest to Christians and to Boxing fans. But also makes one consider our society' s values and what we regard as success. On the surface, Andy's life seemed like a lad's dream, winning tournaments, decent money, opportunities to binge drink and do pills and coke. But the price he paid nearly destroyed him. A valuable read.

  This is a gripping, no holds barred gritty, authentic, tell it how it is the book. Andy flute courageously tells his account of a man who had it all but yet was caught in a destructive path that literally cost him everything even nearly his very life. But yet, this is a powerful account that even the mess someone is n and when all hope is gone, it's never too later for another chance. certainly, a great book and I struggled to put it down.

  The crazy and inspirational life of Andy Flute Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2023 Wow, what an amazing wart and all brutally honest assessment of the life of decorated boxer Andy Flute. I've read many autobiographies of ex-boxers and thus is in the top three. Wrote by himself with no ghostwriter over seven years it documents his beginnings, from boxing to working with his old man. The stories that follow into adolescence will leave you going back and reading them again as they are stuff that films are made of. It's an open and honest account of himself and you actually feel like you know him personally as you read further. Highly recommend it, I'd of read it sooner than I did but read various bits two or three times over. He's had a turbulent life but now thankfully has turned it around after finding God. Buy this book, you won't regret it
