I literally couldn't put it down and managed it in 8 hours. icon_lol.gif

Some cracking stuff in it, especially the Carney and Connolly antics.

Excellent read.
Millward's attitude towards Kris was very odd. No wonder the team collapsed under his stewardship.
Recommend it for any Wigan and Rugby League fan.

Most telling part for me was at the end of his career kids coming into the first team would give cheek to the senior pro's.

Not something Radders would dare to do at the same age

He gives several reasons for this all of which I agree with

The grammar police say "their" and "routes" - sorry Kris but the publisher needs a kicking.

Past that... A great book written by somebody that I would consider an absolute legend of the club, who went through some very similar injuries to me at the same time, with very different motivations! I remember Rads making the first team and sadly leaving when Rads was a year younger than me while I had watched from the stands. He was and still is, even more since I read the book; an inspiration to how people should live life.

I hope that we can all say "he was a good 'un" when we see him in 10 years.

Rads - Thanks for the memories and thanks for the book, I hope you succeed in RL or whatever you chose to do.

I've not read the book but for me even though they were really token gesture appearances, the 6 appearances he came back to make in 2006 mean so much more to me than the previous 317 games.

We were dying towards relegation and the man risked his health to try and help us. He struggled in that run and actually made very little impact but the fact he put his hand up to help spoke volumes for the man. You can't buy pride in the shirt like that.

It was a shame though he didn't get to play in either of the last two home games that season in which we battered first Bradford then Hull. Would have been nice to give him a proper send off with Brett Dallas who for me have been our best servants of this decade.

His comments regarding that comeback show just how much he loves the club

Kris explains in the book that he was happy to end his Wigan career on his terms and didn't want any hullabuloo about his retirement. Legend.

He says he's still owed some money from all that, which surprised me.

Great read. Well writtten which can't always be said for rugby league autombiograhies.
I'm from Wakefield and it was still a good read without being a Wigan fan.

Had respect for him before but has increased my opinion of him after reading that.

Is it as bad as Mike Gregory's? Great content but poor writing.

Must get the Radlinski book. Was hoping for a signed copy for my birthday but... icon_cry.gif

Mine arrived in the post this morning. I thought I'd have a quick look and then read it later but I couldn't put it down. I can well recommend it, it's an honest and riveting read - written by a gentleman and a legend. If you haven't read it yet you are missing out.

Rad`s what can you say, Wiganer through and through as the saying goes SIMPLY THE BEST, shows what a gentleman he is he didn`t slate anyone he was gracious all the way through his book even if he didn`t agree with what the person or persons were doing. GOOD ON YOU KRIS eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

One of those players that opposition fans find hard to dislike!!

For me the best full back of the SL era.

I didn't know he'd done a book. I'll certainly look out for it.

I loved the book.

It would be hard to find somebody more worthy to look upto both on and off the pitch than Kris Radlinski.
