it's a fantastic read i bought it when it came out some great stories told by former leeds and GB players

Thanks !!!!! I did not know this book exsisted. Just bought a copy and free delivery too. One of my all time favorites shoey ! I remember the cowardly act by Dixon of Salford. Kicked shoey in the head late after scoring in corner of west and north stand. Shoey spent a long time in wheel chair and was paraylised.

A tragic accident on the rugby field, IMO. Two players giving 100%, one trying to score, the other attempting to prevent the touchdown.

As far as I recall Mick said pretty much the same.

Mick is one of my all time favourites, gave everything in a game would be hard to call as the best between lewis Jones and also John Holmes but hey they were all greats in my eyes.
I was there when the accident happened we all thought it was deliberate till later but was as stated 2 guys giving 100% to score or deny the score, great tradegy.

Managed to acquire "No Pain, No Gain", Kevin Ward's biography and started reading it last night. I've made a resolution to read more books this year so i'll look out for that one.

I was in the southstand that day when the tragedy happened,so I didn't get a close up view ,but I admit I was caught up in all the hype against the lat Colin Dixon,and I regretted it later.I once met Colin Dixon in the bar at Headingley and found him a gentleman,a decent bloke
