Icke comes from an impoverished background. His father Beric was intelligent and wanted to become a doctor, but he did not have the money to pursue his studies. Icke states that he grew up in a poor housing area and his family often had to hide when the rent collector came round for the month's rent. Icke was not a good student at school; he had natural talent as shown by his later careers but said he was not interested in trying Later Icke stated he was a bit of a loner and felt he was somewhat different, which maybe meant he was always destined to pursue his career as a challenger of conventional thought. A criticism of the conventional education system would be one of Icke's later themes. David Icke says he is mostly self-educated. He wasn't academic as a child or teenager but read a lot as an adult. But he was interested in football and showed talent as a goalkeeper. When he first played football aged 9 he was pleased to have found something he was good at. In 1967 he was signed aged 15 by Coventry City. Unfortunately Icke suffered from rheumatoid arthritis in his knee, which subsequently moved to his ankles, elbows hands and wrists. Thus meant that he could not continue in his career a professional goalkeeper in football. He did play part time for Hereford United. He made 37 appearances between 1971 and 1973. At the age of 21 in 1973 he had to retire.Icke said:“I’m playing with this swollen knee, but I’m doing all right. We got to the final of the FA Youth Cup, played against Graeme Souness and Steve Perryman and these sort of people in the final. Four games it took, before they beat us 1-0. And, I was going on fine. And then my right ankle started to swell, and then my left elbow, and so it went on, then my right knee. I was then told that ‘you’ve got to stop playing because you’ve got rheumatoid arthritis.’ At which point, I thought I’d never play again.”Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder which affects the joints in the human body. The joints become swollen and painful. The immune system of the body attacks the joints leading to inflammation. The most common part of the body affected us the wrist and hand. This disorder ruined Icke's sporting career, and also makes writing harder - so Icke’s prodigious writing output must be respected. Icke has written numerous lengthy books and articles since taking up his new career as a researcher must be respected.A New CareerAs his football career had come to a premature end, Icke decided to have a career in journalism. Icke had been interviewed on television about being forced to retire as a footballer and said he loved the "atmosphere" of tv. He set himself the goal of being a sports presenter hosting prestigious sports tv programmes. It seemed an untrainable goal but Icke said he knew "it was going to happen". Icke later stated that this is an example of how one can create their own reality and acive goals. His first job was with the Leicester Advertiser, a small local paper in Leicester. Icke also found work with radio station BBC Radio Leicester reporting on sport. In 1976 he moved to Saudi Arabia to work with the Saudi Arabian national football team. He decided to return to England after a few months in the job as he could not settle in Saudi Arabia and suffered from homesickness. On return to England he resumed his journalism career working for the Loughborough Monitor and the Leicester Mercury newspapers. Icke undertook more sports reporting on independent Midlands radio station BRMB. He got a job for the BBC's tv programme Midlands Today, moving into television for the first time. Icke initially gained fame as a television sports presenter and in 1981 he got his first tv sports presenting role on BBC's Newsnight. Icke appeared on the first ever BBC breakfast show in 1983 reading the sports news. From 1983 Icke hosted Saturday afternoon BBC sports show Grandstand. Icke worked as a general sports presenter for the BBC, hosting coverage of sports such as snooker and bowls and working as part of the BBC's Olympic coverage. He hosted the famous 1985 World Snooker Championship final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor, which remains the most watched event in the history of BBC2 with 18 million viewers watching. The final went down the very end with the match finishing at 12.30 a.m. A book about pursuing a career as a footballer called It's a Tough Game, Son! was written by Icke in 1983. This was the first book Icke wrote and on the topic of sport, his first love and the area in which he rose to fame. He went on to write many other books which were political in content.In 1990 Icke opposed controversial new local tax colloquially known as the Poll Tax and took part in campaigns against the tax, which was scrapped because of the protests. The BBC wanted their presenters to be politically impartial and as a result did not renew Icke's contact. His broadcasting career was at an end. Icke later said that was becoming disillusioned with the world of broadcasting and did not like the culture or many of the people working in the industry. He did not like the pressure or the in fighting of the television world. Icke had developed an interest in aspects of green politics, particularly in areas such as alternative medicine and animal rights. Icke had joined the Green Party and was one of its main spokespersons. He rose in the ranks fast as it was small party in terms of membership and Icke was a famous media personality. He wrote a book about environmental issues in 1989 called It Doesn't Have To Be Like This. This was to be his first of many political books. Green issues were becoming more popular in the 1980s. The Green Party was starting to grow as a political party, and Icke was a serious spokesman for the party. Icke left the Green Party in 1991 to pursue his new career as a researcher and advocate of unconventional thinking about the nature of the world.  He still spoke at some Green party meetings, but soon the party was to cut all ties with Icke as his views were seen as too controversial.Icke The ThinkerIcke had a personal psychological and personal crisis around 1989 saying "that he felt a presence around him". In a shop on the Isle of Wight he was drawn to a book by an unknown force. He stated that a voice said to him "go and look at the books over there". The book was called Mind to Mind and was written by English psychic healer Betty Shine. Betty Shine (1929-2002)  was born in London. She was an opera singer as well as a psychic, medium and psychic healer. She wrote a series of Mind themed books - Mind to Mind, Mind Workbook, Mind Magic and Mind Waves. Her other books were My Life as a Medium (1996), The Infinite Mind, Clear your Mind,  Free your Mind, A Mind of Your Own (1998) and A Free Spirit (2002). Mind to Mind and Mind Magic were both popular and were in the Sunday Times Top 10 bestsellers lists for several weeks.Betty Shine said:"It is up to every one of us to seek knowledge, improve the power of our mind, and discover what we are really capable of. With the expansion of the mind come health, excitement and positivity and - very important - independence and self-reliance. Never give up. Keep trying. Life is full of fascinating things waiting for you to discover them. Challenge! That is the word that has inspired me throughout my life. Why don't you take up the challenge of helping to make this world a better place to live in?"The Sun newspaper claimed that Shine was "the World's number one faith healers". It was also said of her that everyone who met her or used her healing services were shocked at her supernatural powers. One researcher claimed to have received hundreds of letters claiming Shine was a fraud, but this person may have had another agenda against her.Shine believed in mind waves - an energy linking people that could be either negative or positive. This belief plays a part in Icke's theories today. She also believes in psychic surgery. This is a controversial practice where people claim to perform surgery using their bare hands. Some fraudulent psychic surgeons have used fake blood to give the illusion of performing surgery. The practice is believed to have originated in the Philippines among spiritualists in the early 20th century.In 1975, the US Federal Trade Commission said :"'psychic surgery' "is nothing but a total hoax". Judge Daniel H. Hanscom, when granting the FTC an injunction against travel agencies promoting psychic surgery tours, declared: "Psychic surgery is pure and unmitigated fakery. The 'surgical operations' of psychic surgeons ... with their bare hands are simply phony. It has been found that "psychic surgery" is pure fakery. The body is not opened, no "surgery" is performed with the bare hands or with anything else, and nothing is removed from the body. The entire "operation" is an egregious fraud perpetrated by sleight-of-hand and similar tricks and devices."Icke read Mind to Mind quickly and it provided many answers to his personal spiritual crisis. He contacted Shine about his spiritual experiences and problems with arthritis. Icke had several meetings with Shine, and she said:
