Quote Damo-Leeds="Damo-Leeds"For once I agree with TB that the Times Online top ten is an advertising list. For example where was the Sean Long biography?
I’ve never seen such a Murdoch elitist list like it in my life.
Anyways here is my mix bag of what I think is the top five for Christmas. Some I’ve read and some I haven’t!
5. No White Flag
Its nice to read about a local lad living the dream and playing rugby league at the very top. I’ve no doubt that a majority on this website have read this autobiography of Jamie Peacock,
4. Made For Rugby
This is probably the most enjoyable rugby league book that I’ve read about Leeds Rhinos legend Barry McDermott. If you think his quips on sky sports are funny then you better get this book for Christmas because you’ll be rolling on the floor in tears or is it just me?
3.Don't Die With The Music In You
Wayne Bennett is an absolute legend of our game no matter how much that pains me to say. This is another book that I haven’t read and hope to get round to one day as I believe its probably as good as any philosophic book in the world.
2. The Forbidden Game: The Untold Story of French Rugby League
I’ve always been fascinated bout the history of the injustice of rugby league in France for a while and this book probably fit’s the bill. Might be expensive to get and hard to find though. I’ve not read this book either but if someone has it and wants to lend
1. Daydream believer
An autobiography all about Stanley Gene. He’s a star in his homeland of PNG and has given SL all his best. Along with that his revealing account of family turmoil, snake attacks, political violence, mud sledging in the rainforest and cannibalism.
So what’s your top five recommendations?'"
bennetts first book was a big w**k, full of cliches and quotes form other people
his second book was actually very good
