OK, someone shoot me down in flames if I'm wrong here but having suffered from reading too many ghost-written RL biographies I've given up looking for a decent rugby-related read.

But,

I'm never bored listening to, or reading something that Harry Jepson says, is interviewed on, or writes, the latest snippet on the Rhinos web site obituary for Brian Hughes is a good example - he tells the story, doesn't use stock phrases like most stiff club pronouncements, you can hear him telling the story of how he signed Brian Hughes and I'd love to read more of the same.

Has Mr Jepson written his biog yet ?

Is it available anywhere ?

If not then could someone at the club urge him to do so ?

Got to agree with you there- an audio history would be even better. His tales are so funny and told with wonderful timing. The main thing though is his obvious love of the game - starting at Hunslet - for which he still has an obvious soft-spot - then moving on to Leeds.

It's a book that needs writing, that's for sure.

I worked with Harry's son Paul for a little while, and he's not averse to spinning a well told tale or two either, must run in the family.

I used to tell my father the same thing, he had some great tales but I suspect an even greater number of untold ones - one day it was too late...



My own kids will be sick of hearing about my life to date
I find the blog format to be really easy to jot down brief snippets of stories, one, two hundred words at a time with no "story" structure and none of the hard thinking about where in the time-line everything should fit, you just spill the stories out as they come to you and if someone wants to put them all in chronological order at some later date then so be it - four years on I'm just starting to cut and paste some of them into one document, I've done four months so far from this year and its seventy pages long already - just another four years of the blog to go back through now
