Totally agree Hans. I love sporting autobiographies and have loads, but they can be dry at times - avoid Michael Atherton's.

Will's is a cracker. Very funny but some very sad moments too, which are handled superbly. All credit to Will. Top player, top man.

i have Johnno's, Backy's, Matt Dawson's, Will Greenwood's autobiographys and have also read Jonah Lomu's. Will Greenwoods's and Jonah's have got to be my favorites, both were interesting and in some cases funny reads.
Donncha O'Callaghan and Bruce Reihana are the best players that ever lived. Don't even bother to argue with me.
