About the Author
Over an incredible career spanning 30 years, Jonathan Power advised the biggest stars in the Premier League from clubs including Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as British Lions rugby players and world champions in boxing and snooker. Pop stars and songwriters also sought his financial and agency advice.
The ultimate validation came when Sir Bobby Robson and Sir Geoff Hurst became Patron and Non-Executive Directors of his organisation.
As Jonathan emerged onto the showbiz scene as a Producer, he worked and rubbed shoulders with the world's biggest entertainment stars including Idina Menzel, Nigel Lythgoe, Elton John, Lionel Richie, Sir Ian McKellen and George Michael.
The book is also a deeply personal account of Jonathan’s struggle with cancer at the age of 52, and of how he overcame the biggest challenge of his life.
