book description

In Chasing the Dream: My Lifelong Journey to the Top of the Quiz World, Shaun Wallace shares the inspiring story of his life, from being born to Jamaican parents in London on June 2, 1960, to becoming a devoted Chelsea fan and achieving his childhood dream of becoming a barrister. Despite facing setbacks along the way, Shaun's determination led him to be called to the bar in November 1984.

For almost 34 years, Shaun has been a Criminal Defence Advocate, working on a wide range of cases, from murder to money laundering. The book also delves into Shaun's television appearances on quiz shows such as Fifteen-To-One, The Weakest Link, Greed, and Are You an Egghead? His national recognition skyrocketed when he became the first black person to win the BBC's Mastermind in 2004.

Since 2009, Shaun has been widely known as The Dark Destroyer on ITV's The Chase. Through his passions and achievements, Shaun Wallace emerges as a figure characterized by justice, fairness, resilience, and loyalty. The book is published by Cranthorpe Millner Publishers.
