Quality Read - Rated
This book, without a doubt has been the best sporting autobiography I have read to date. It made me laugh, it gave me an insight into how England and Leicester Tigers functioned and it gave a funny account of many players.
For all England rugby fans, this is a must read. Healey has great confidence in his own ability and this is portrayed in the text. A true English legend and a book I didn't want to end.

Healey the entertainer - Rated
If Martin Johnston's book hasn't managed to put you off rugby biography's(Zzzzz)then this is well worth a read- essential for any rugby fan. Funny, informative, poignant in places- a true legend of the game.

Pretty much what i expected - Rated
I wouldn't want to say this is a bad/good book, and i wouldn't want to say whether I like/dislike Mr Healey after reading it. I think this book is an example of 'What is says on the tin'. We all know Austin has built a career on playing practical jokes and slating every other human being, and this book just goes to confirm this.

As i mentioned earlier, i wouldn't want to judge the guy purely by this book but it does appear that he has trouble accepting a slating and a practical joke from a fellow human being, even if it is at the same level of nastiness as he has played on other people. All of that said, he is still very forthright in his views on many different coaches in rugby, but i started to lose respect for his oppinions of other people the more the book went on, because you are never sure whether it is personal or objective.

Either way, the book is a bit of fun and it was an easy read, so if you fancy reading this then go ahead and you will get exactly what you expected.

Amazing read - Rated
This book was witty funny and a realy enjoyable read. from his witty banter with all of his team mates the ins and outs of lecester duyring his 10 year period there. a must read for any rugby fan.

An excellent autobiography - Rated
An excellent autobiography - certainly one of the best, if not the best, rugby autobiography that I can recall. Healey's honest,amusing and often ironic self assessment of himself during his rugby career is an enjoyable and interesting read. One to recommend to all sports fans alike.
