| Willie - The Life and Times of a Rugby League Legend.
Michael Gardners account of Barrow Legend Willie Horne is def the best I've read , not just a RL history but one that gives real flavour of Hornes connection to the Barrow area and its people.
Also cant remember who wrote it or even the title (if anyone could help me out) but there was a 'warts and all ' year in the life of Wigan Rugby ' written about 15 years ago featuring Shaun Edwards , Andy Farrell , Dennis Betts and some illuminating stuff on Bobbie Goulding that is worth looking into.

Hi,
Not in this book, I think it may have been in Dave Hadfield's "XIII Winters" but I don't have a copy of that to hand.

| 'The Forbidden Game' by Mike Rylance, whilst not an autobiography, is well worth a read. It's about the efforts of the French RU and government to suppress the development of Rugby League. Some of the dealings take your breath away.

Peter Sterling "Sterlo"
Steve Price "Be your Best"
Danny Buderus "Talent is not enough"
Shane Webcke "Hard Road: Tough Thoughts on a Tough Game"
Brad Fittler "Freddy"
Jack Gibson "Last Word: On Coaching, Winning, Motivation and Inspiration"
I recently gave a lot of books by players in the 80's & 90's away, Ray Price, Mark Graham, Mario Fenech etc
All good Books worth a read some pretty old now.
Plenty of others that I have forgotten, never enjoyed Wayne Bennetts books, expected lots and could not be bothered finishing them.
