Shallow and poorly thought-out - Rated
This book could have been great - the stage of Rugby League has been graced with a varied cast of actors from all sorts of backgrounds.
However it ambles aimlessly through a pretty ragged and obvious selection and struggles to tell us anything we didn't know already. eg guess where Stevo is these days ?
John Huxley had a great opportunity to write something worth reading but this whole book just reads like a cheaply-produced tabloid-style cash-in.
If done properly there could have been strict time parameters on it - eg stars of the 50's 60's, 70's, 80's etc and would have had a qualification on it eg every player who has played in a major final or for GB. Instead we get this effort which seems to have no thought or rationale behind the selections.
Save your money - this can be flicked through in ten minutes, which is about as long as it must have taken to write.
Fascinating but something missing - Rated
I found this fascinating as to where some of the players have currently ended up (especially the journeymen), but like the other review, each one left me with mixed emotions. From some you wanted to know more, some you couldn't care, some felt a bit unfair (but then we all have our own views of each player), but overall I felt that the guys were being recognised for their contribution to Leeds United long after they left. And that's the way it should be. The way is paved for Edition 2...
Lots and lots of great stuff.... - Rated
I'm biased because I contributed a little bit to this book - but having said that, I'm being as objective as possible: there are some fun and great interesting facts about great (and not so great players) that I think the main weakness of the book is you want there to be more.
It's one of those books that needs to be read more than once so you can be sure of absorbing all the info about some of the most famous players around!
