"great read" according to Basskebab. Great read. Lots of interesting stuff on his early playing days that I didn't know. Also unlike a lot of other sports biographies, this doesn't just consist of him telling us what great guys all his team mates are!. Brian Elliott said Nothing in it that one wouldn't have already suspected.. A long career , pockmarked by unfortunate timing on the injury front, though one couldn't help but think that the author was a little bitter about some of the selectors who failed to recognise his talent.. Not just a book of match reviews Unlike some sporting bios, this book tells a lot more that just how a person played in every match in their career.Good read.
