For The Record: The Allan Hewson Story (Signed)
Description
For The Record: The Allan Hewson Story- Ian Gault. "Probably no All Black of modern times has drawn more diverse reaction than Allan Hewson. To his fans, he's been the greatest; his critics have unhesitatingly branded him a liability... He tells of the All Black coach who berated him on his first tour, saying he should pack his bags and head home, of his greatest fan who has won thousands just through wagering on Hewson, of his utter despair when gripped with glandular fever, of the many personalities and off-field incidents that have brightened his All Black ventures. And he describes just what it was like, preparing himself to kick what must rate as rugby's greatest pressure goal, against the Springboks at Eden Park in 1981. That whole series provides a poignant chapter, for not only were thousands of New Zealanders against the tour, but so was his wife! This is a most comprehensive rugby book, rich in on-field deeds and off-field anecdotes, lavishly illustrated - a must for all rugby buffs." Good tidy condition with minimal marks.
