| Quote Spirit of 55="Spirit of 55"My book 'Spirit of 55' sounds like the sort of thing you mean, I wrote it from the point of view of a Wire fan. Last season I wrote reports on each Wire match and the local paper published them on their website, these reports formed the basis of the book, but I added plenty of chapters on comments on RL in general and life as a Wire fan, I also looked at other sports teams who have had to suffer incredibly long waits for the ultimate success. That book was published early this year and this season my reports appear in the local paper itself. It might be an idea for you to contact your local paper and see if they'll put your reports on the website, they should be able to monitor how many people are reading them.'"
Thanks for this. Very helpful. Definitely worth looking into. |

I have no idea whether it is any good, but I did hear one author promoting his book called 'No Helmets Required'. The description reads....
Sixty years on from 1950s Los Angeles, No Helmets Required tells the story of 20 young American footballers convinced by entrepreneur Mike Dimitro to fly off around the world playing rugby league - a game they'd never even heard of. Miraculously, the American All Stars competed with the best Australia, New Zealand and France had to offer, and shocked the locals with some stunning victories. Yet beyond the media circus and celebrity adventures, the All Stars had fights and flings, suffered tragic illness and farcical court cases. Dimitro's mission to establish rugby league in the United States failed in spectacular fashion - though one All Star went on to win the Super Bowl, one became a Hollywood stuntman and another an Olympic champion. One player founded a church; another was murdered. The emergence of their remarkable story coincides with the USA's first ever qualification for the Rugby League World Cup, in 2013.
Sounds interesting to me.

Not so much an 'RL book' but Tawera Nikau's Standing Tall is a cracking read.

The only one I can think of that wasn't a biography as such was "Rugby League, The Family Game" . It was basically accounts of what used to happen in the 70's/80's in the stands and it was quite an enjoyable read.

'The Mighty Bev' All about Brian Bevans Career, and a really enjoyable read.
20k plus packed into Wilderspool each week ? 102k at Odsal ? 30k at Hilton Park ?
The game must have gone downhill in its appeal since, thats for sure !

The Forbidden Game was a bit heavy going for me.
Up and Over by Dave Hadfield is excellent.

Ive got one about the Super League split in Oz called 'The Super League War' which I bought in Oz about 12 years ago which is excellent.
