Product Description
In this book, Scotland and British Lions coach Ian McGeechan provides an in-depth, controversial account of a life devoted to Rugby Union. The autobiography culminates in a first-hand account of the 1993 British Lions tour of New Zealand - very much an insider's view. This book follows the extraordinary successful year of 'Geech' from his upbringing - and Rugby League influences - in Headingley, through to his evolution as an international and British Lions player. Along the way he discusses the 1989 Lions tour of Australia, Scotland's unforgettable 1990 Grand Slam and recent Home Internationals as well as the Lions New Zealand Tour. He assesses the comments on the players and the issues in a rapidly changing game. As testament to the reverence and respect in which Ian McGeechan is held in World Rugby, Bob Dwyer, the Wallabies World Cup coach, provides an introduction to this volume.
