| Description |
Well-illustrated and an excellent read on a lesser-known sport outside of the UK, Southern France and Oceania.
Do you know who said: "I want to give myself up. I have killed my wife?" or who's rage was beamed to the nation? Strange things to read about, in a book about a fast, ultra-tough game like rugby league but this is no ordinary sport-story or sport-history book. The author brings to life here 100 days, all unusual in one way or another (some funny, some tragic, some downright crazy) selected from the whole 122 years of the game's history, featuring: Epic matches, Weird and wonderful tours, Strange adventures, Individual brilliance, Controversies, Historic milestones, and because life has them a few truly Tragic Tales.
24 x 16 cms, softback, 320 pages.
