Quatrième de couverture :
'That lovely border dialect of Bill's has transcended the game for the last thirty or forty years' Gareth Edwards
'Bill's name is synonymous with the game' Andy Irvine
'You almost feel honoured to be listening to Bill McLaren' Sean Fitzpatrick
In this moving autobiography, Bill McLaren reveals the joys and sadnesses of his life outside rugby - a life almost tragically cut short by tuberculosis. He also vividly recalls the highlights of his illustrious career and his fifty years' experience at the BBC, where he commentated on the most dramatic moments the game has ever seen.
In short, Bill McLaren's story amounts to the history of rugby itself, and reaffirms his status as something of a global treasure.
'Bill McLaren, the legendary commentator, may have hung up his microphone, but moving words still flow'
Daily Telegraph

'Bill McLaren, the legendary commentator, may have hung up his microphone, but moving words still flow'
Daily Telegraph
"The familiar rugby stories are still there but the haunting chapters on the bloodiest of wars, his fight for life against TB, the last-ditch arrival of a miracle cure and the death of his beloved daughter Janie, constitute largely unchartered and painful territory - at least emotionally and in public - for the most private of men" (Daily Telegraph)
"It has plenty about the rugby world and his inherent sense of fairness but, even more pertinently, about the real, sometimes apocalyptic, world" (Sunday Herald)
"He has a remarkable story to tell ... it is in turn heart-warming and heart-rending. Bill McLaren was and is a one-off. So is his book" (Yorkshire Post)
