ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia football legend Herschel Walker is expected to reveal in an upcoming book that he has multiple personalities -- a revelation that surprises the man who coached the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner.
Former Georgia coach Vince Dooley said -- quote -- "That's all news to me. All I know is whatever personality he had when he had the football was the one I liked."
According to Shida Carr, the book's publicist at Simon And Schuster, "Breaking Free" will chronicle Walker's life with multiple personality disorder.
Carr said the book will be published in August, but gave no other details and declined to provide excerpts.
Carr told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "There's some buzz out there and we're letting people know we have this book coming out."
Multiple personality disorder, also known as dissociative identity disorder, is a rare mental condition in which one person has two or more distinct personalities, according to the Merck Manual of Medical Information.
