Football awesome Herschel Walker reveals
that he has Multiple Personality Disorder in his new book. His former Georgia coach was shocked by the revelations from the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner.

“That’s all news to me,” former Georgia coach Vince Dooley said in Friday editions of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “All I know is whatever personality he had when he had the football was the one I liked.”
“Breaking Free” will chronicle Walker’s life with multiple personality disorder, according to Shida Carr, a publicist at Simon & Schuster.
Carr said the book will be published in August, but gave no other details and declined to provide excerpts.



In three seasons at Georgia, Walker led the Bulldogs to a 33-3-1 record, three straight Southeastern Conference championships and the 1980 national title. He won the Heisman as a junior, then left school a year early to sign with the now-defunct U.S. Football League.
Walker played for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia

Eagles and New York Giants. He has lived in Dallas since his playing career ended.



A former Georgia teammate also was caught off guard by Walker’s revelation.
“I’m probably one of his closest friends and that’s news to me,” said Frank Ros, who was captain of Georgia’s 1980 national championship team. “I knew he was working on a book but I just thought it was about football. He does 100 things at once and always has projects going on, but that blows me away.”

Breaking Free will be released by Simon Schuster in April, 2008 and looks to be a very interesting read, indeed.
