Well, I have to say that there are a lot of 'sporting hero' biographies out that I would not touch with a barge pole - Frank Lampard? No chance. Lawrence Dallaglio? too self-serving for words. Therefore, it was with slight trepidation that I picked this up only to have any lingering doubts blown away by the candid, honest and illuminating account within its pages.
Although there is plenty of information about JPs life and career, it is his analysis which makes it stand apart from the norm. Despite not having the status he deserves as a genuine champion with international honours and recognition, this book helps to put across the real Rugby League, and not that sneered at as a minority sport by the London-centric media.
Top stuff - surely the sport biography of the year.
