A delightful and nostalgic read
|
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I was given this book. Of course, I grew up listening to Bill's wonderful rugby commentary and the book brought childhood memories flooding back. But the story is something altogether more than a trip down memory lane with reflections on rugby greats. Bill's life has contained it's fair share of drama and tragedy. Weaved together with his love of the game and his professional life I found it an absolute pleasure to read. There is something wonderfully noble about how Bill tells his story and it's difficult not to be left with the feeling that we have lost something unique from our Saturday afternoons. If, as I am, you are a former rugby player you will also find his views on the modern game thought provoking.
I found the book a breath of fresh air. It puts a lot of things in perspective and reminds you of how rich a life can be.
