Description

Fats (Peter Fatialofa and the Manu Samoa story) Autographed - Phil Gifford. No other rugby career by a top New Zealand player has had quite the same romantic flavour as that of Peter Fatialofa. The burly prop from South Auckland, New Zealand's best known piano mover, has become an international captain - but not of the All Blacks. Rejected by the All Black selectors from the 1988 tour of Australia, the man known universally as "Fats", turned instead to Western Samoa and on a tour of Wales and Ireland in 1988 quickly became the cornerstone of its pack. FATS, Peter Fatialofa's biography, captures all of the ingredients of Manu Samoa's golden 1991 year, gives fascinating insights into that special tournament as well as backgrounding the various steps by which a tiny island nation was able to suddenly project itself on the world stage. Tidy and bright overall great condition.
