Description

The Game, The Goal. The Grant Fox Story (Autographed). The Game, The Goal is the story of one of New Zealand's most astonishing sports champions, Grant Fox. It is more than a champion's life story. It is a unique commentary on the game by a player whose extraordinary ability as a goalkicker has influenced the tactics of international and provincial opposition to a degree never before seen in rugby. By the simple fact of being there he has dictated their strategies... In recent years Grant Fox has been subjected to malicious rumour and gossip and has seen it eagerly circulated not only in New Zealand but abroad. In his book he goes on a ghost-busting expedition against such spectres as his "campaign to have Buck Shelford ousted", the mismatch if the century (his supposed scrap with Shelford in the dressing-room), his purported part in the demise of Bruce Deans as All Black halfback and non-existent fight with Deans. The Game, The Goal is the first book by a player since the World Cup of 1991. In it Fox discusses from a player's uniquely "inside' perspective the problems the All Blacks and their coaches faced, probes the decisions taken before and during the campaign and discloses where things went wrong between the triumph if 1987 and the downfall of 1991." Tidy and well kept, overall good condition.
