Looking forward to reading the book although it may be a while until i get my hands on a copy. After spending 2 hours in waterstones waiting to get Del Toro's signature i dont want to see another book shop for quite a while yet!
Hope there is a decent part about the 2002 CC final, Radlinski's finest 80 minutes for me, he was awesome that day.

It is a fantastic read. Reading between the lines i don't think it's difficult to work out who he thinks were 'big-time charlies' and deserved to leave Wigan.
The Radlinski final chapter is awesome. I feel complete now, having been at the final, also seeing the video Faz filmed and now the chapter from the man himself.

A feature on Kris will be on Sky's Boots 'n' All this week. I assume they were down filming on Saturday?

Not personally, but I have finished the book and know of a few other players who were not keen on his "management style"
The book is a fantastic read, probably the best RL autobiography I have ever read. |

[size=75:2d8t03fs]Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may
jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may
when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan
in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may
in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may

Accepted and it's not a word I should have used.
It just proves it was one of Maurices biggest ever mistakes at Wigan.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.
Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king"
'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure'
'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it'

Best one I've personally read is Barrie Mac's, thats a fantastic read.
Radders book is one of the few that has actually made me laugh out loud though. Some of the stories in that are awesome. Carney riding a bike slaughtered, only stopping to climb a tree and fall out of it.
Connolly sounds like a great guy as well. |

A lot on here have commented previously on Carneys last year at Wigan.
I wonder how much that was influenced by Millwards style of management, and as Rads and Carney were good mates, Millwards particular treatment of Radders. |
