I always approach ghost written sporting autobiographies more in hope than expectation but Martin Bayfield's book I found a lot better than than most other rugby stars stories. The book provides an emotional link between the generations, so that today’s fans can reconnect with rugby's soul. The usual format seems to be a macho picture on the cover and inside a discription of rugby matches from the past, pay back for, grudges, injuries, crude anecdotes, drunken adventures and lists of "lad's" practical jokes, hilarious no doubt for the particiants but tedious for the rest of us.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is a rugby autobiography that tells a full and often funny and sometimes painful and moving story of a giant. One of the tourists is Evan, taking an enforced holiday from his family and work in Belfast after breaking down after the death of his daughter in infancy.
