Product Description

Product Description
Alan Tait, one of the most multi-faceted sportsmen of his generation, tells his story in this book. He made sporting history in 1997 when, after spending eight years in the north of England with Widnes and Leeds, he became the first former professional rugby player to return to Scottish international rugby union. Once back in union with Rob Andrew's Newcastle Falcons, Tait used his international recall as a springboard to tour with the British Lions, a set-up he found riddled with xenophobia and selectorial bias. Alan Tait tells it as he played - hard and to the point - but he shares the secret which he believes gave league players a mental and physical toughness that union counterparts could take years to acquire. No punches are pulled, whether discussing the Scottish Rugby Union's lack of preparation for the inevitable professional era, the naive tactics which greeted him on his return to the international scene or how he hatched a plan to ensure a substitute got on the pitch for a long-awaited first cap. Besides playing for Scotland the British Lions Test team, Alan Tait represented Great Britain at rugby league on 12 occasions and came within inches of notching the winning try in a World Cup final against Australia.
