I've just been sent the press release for the publication of the Bill Ashurst book. I was asked to make a contribution to the book. I have no idea if they've used it, I'll have to buy one to find out, but it looks an interesting read (even more interesting if I'm not quoted!). Anyway, it's out now!!
I was sent a cover image but posting on here seems complicated, but this is the press releaseBook launch
by Bill Ashurst with Steve Manning

• Bill Ashurst
• Jim Mills
• Mike Nicholas
• Andy Gregory
• Alex Murphy
Compere: Graham Lovett (Wish FM)

All Welcome
Bill Ashurst is widely recognised as one of the outstanding second-row forwards in rugby league since the Second World War. This hard hitting autobiography covers his full rugby league career and much more, including:
• Playing for Wigan, Penrith Panthers and Wakefield Trinity
• His international matches for Great Britain
• Coaching at Wigan, Wakefield Trinity and Runcorn Highfield
• The abuse he suffered as a child
• Discovering Christianity
• Growing up in Wigan and his time playing football
Bill’s career was often controversial. His book pulls no punches as he looks back on a bitter defeat in the 1970 Challenge Cup Final; a record unbeaten run with Wigan; playing for Penrith and his relationship with Mike Stephenson; falling out with Vince Karalius and leaving Wigan for a second time; being assistant coach at Wigan with Alex Murphy; coaching at Wakefield Trinity and being sent off in his final playing appearance for Runcorn Highfield at Central Park.
To be published on 29 September 2014 @ £14.95. The book will be available at the launch for £14.00, or can be ordered from the London League Publications Ltd website, www.llpshop.co.uk for £14.00 post free in the UK. It will also be available from the Wigan Warriors club shop, Waterstones Wigan, all good bookshops and Amazon.co.uk
