Theo Fleury Tell All Book Coming

Adrian Dater of the Denver Post informs us that Theo Fleury is writing a tell all book:

"I’d be walking home from a game dressed in my custom made suit from Giovanni’s in Montreal and I’d stop and buy three or four bottles of wine. Then I’d head for the Chelsea Piers between 23rd Street and the Hudson River and hang with homeless guys around a burn barrel shooting the sh*t. I would ask them how they got there. I’ve always been interested by that kind of stuff. The Rangers must have been shitting bricks.” Full Story

Theo, I've been trying to understand the whole "addictive" thing, whether it be alcohol, drugs, gambling, and I can't seem to understand it. I think it'S a choice not a disease, but either way, I'm so proud that you beat it. Bob Marley said it all in 2 words. BE HAPPY!

I have wondered for many years why is this guy like this? I always thaught he had the whole world in the palm of his hand but really he didn't have much of a world. That slippery fat bastard took it away from him. Theo is now by far my favourite player of all time now that I have read the book............

Interview With The Author: Kirstie McLellan Day

A couple of weeks ago I named Theo Fleury's book Playing With Fire as the Hockey Book Reviews.com 2009 Book Of The Year . It was a pretty easy choice this year, due to Theo's tragic story, the book's impact and bestselling status. But I was also full of praise for the book's authorship.

By doing so, she kept the emotion and the anger in the text brilliantly. I recently had the chance to chat with Kirstie McLellan Day, seen below with Theo Fleury at a recent book signing. Here's the interview: From one author to another, what is it like to wake up in the morning, look at the bestselling books list in a variety of newspapers/media sources and see your book at the very top?! As you know Joe when you are a storyteller, your main goal is to have people listen to your stories. So it is really gratifying to hear that someone is tou...
