Good Night Irene How a Bullied Fat Kid from Melbourne Became a Global Broadcasting Star

This down-to-earth, funny memoir describes how a bullied fat kid from Melbourne evolved to become an award-winning, international television presenter and sports commentator. Michael Schiavello, the overweight son of an immigrant factory worker, was taunted and bullied at school and was told he'd never amount to anything. By his late teens he knew he only had two things going for him: his deep booming voice and a burning ambition to prove his critics wrong.Good Night Irene, a catch cry Michael would become well known for as a commentator, describes how Michael became one of the most highly sought after sports broadcasters on US cable networks, and relates many interesting stories about the people and celebrities he met along the way, including a gun-toting Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Diego Maradona, Hulk Hogan, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Wasim Akram, Dana White, Cathy Freeman and more. While pulling back the veil of sports commentary and peeking into the lives of some of the world's biggest celebrities, Good Night Irene also serves to inspire the uninspired and give hope and courage to those who struggle with being bullied. This book is proof that anyone with a dream, and the passion and devotion to work hard, can achieve that dream. Inspiring, moving and entertaining.
