A great read, very funny in parts but very sad in others. One of rugby's great carachters.
Excellent book. Sad and funny in equal measure. Winsdor had a lot of tradegy in his life but how he coped is admirable. Well woth reading. Some wonderful stories from his playing days. One of best rugby books I've read.

salute the grand old duke....
An icon and real hard-man hero from my era. Fascinating insight and real nostalgia for a game that has changed hugely since those happy days. Even at my lowly level of playing you felt part of one big community that included internationals at every-day club levels.I couldnt put the book down and enjoyed it immensely - by the end however I had had enough of too much criticism of colleagues and an over-egging of the violence - no need - we all knew how hard these men were.
