Voices from the Back of the Bus: Tall Tales and Hoary Stories from Rugby's Real Heroes

Voices from the Back of the Bus provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at international rugby at the height of a golden period. Recounted with genuine warmth and much humor, almost 100 players—50 of them British and Irish Lions—recall the scrapes, the games, the laughs, the glory, and the gritty reality of the pre-professional game. Author and former Lion Stewart McKinney has collected priceless recollections of the glory days from an unprecedented number of legendary rugby names. Packed with true rugby tales from the days when men played purely for the love of the game and of their nation, and multi-million pound contracts and sponsorship deals were unheard of, Voices from the Back of the Bus is a refreshing, revealing, and often hilarious collection that will inspire sports fans of all generations.
