Description

Carlos- Richard Becht. "In the modern era it;s been a tussle between Andrew Mehrtens and Carlos Spencer for the No 10 jersey. Nobody needs to be told, Spencer provides all the dash. Carlos is his story, the story of arguably the most outrageously gifted rugby player of his generation yet one who manages to polarise the nation. This is the tale of a shy boy from Levin who went to the big city to become one of the country's most talked-about footballers. Spencer talks of his successes, failures and obstacles as well as life as a trailblazing professional. How he came close to quitting New Zealand rugby and why he chose to stay. He offers his insights into first-year All Black coach Graham Henry and his predecessor John Mitchell while also being the first player to analyse the All Blacks' 2003 Rugby World Cup failure. And he talks of the dramatic metamorphosis from Carlos Spencer, rugby player, to Carlos Spencer, father. Carlos - it's the story of an extraordinary talent coming out of provincial New Zealand." Minimal wear on the outside edges, otherwise in good condition. Strangely enough - the book appears to have an inscription signed by Zin Zan Brookes to a previous owner.
