A Very Tall Story

Product Information

He has an interesting take on the cosmic change from amatuer days to the professional game and whilst being proud of his achievements on and off the field of play shares his disappointments and mistakes with us as well. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. Good ‘rugby’ start, mixed with some personal insights, but started to dread it would be ‘then there was this other rugby match’.

Standing at 6ft 10ins, the former England and British and Irish Lions second row remains one of the tallest players ever to have played international rugby, and his immense physical stature made him one of the most destructive forwards in the world game.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Please Note: By their very nature, all signed books will have been handled several times before they get to you. Martin Bayfield has done a wonderful job of describing the transformation of rugby from the amateur through to the professional era, warts and all. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.When Grace saves his life in a kayaking accident - if it was an accident - and Evan's troubled son arrives to stay, all three are drawn together in a way that forces a reckoning with their personal traumas and draws them back into society. Martin's book has some of that sort of thing but where he scores is that he had a job before he became a full time professional rugby player and has a greater perspective on the game than those who knew no other working life. He played for England during one of the most successful eras in English rugby, winning two Grand Slams alongside legendary players such as Will Carling, Jeremy Guscott, Brian Moore and Rory Underwood.
