Playing the Moldovans at Tennis

Not one to resist a challenge, writer, actor, and stand up comedian Tony Hawks accepted a wager that by any normal measure was more than a bit eccentric: go to the Eastern European state of Moldova, track down members of the country’s football squad and persuade them to play him at a game of tennis! Easy? Not quite! As things would have it the quest turned out to have nothing to do with football or tennis but evolved instead into an extraordinary journey involving gypsies, a near kidnap, the Moldovan underworld, chronic power shortages, and a touching relationship with his host family. This hilarious, moving adventure takes the author from Moldova, to Northern Ireland, and an exciting denouement in Nazareth and the naked truth of the bet’s final outcome.
