Description
This long-awaited first biography of Leicester's legendary player and coach, written by former Tigers forward, Martin Whitcombe, provides a fascinating insight into the life and career of a true rugby visionary who inspired numerous future England and Lions internationals as well as generations of rugby coaches.
Comprehensively researched - based on over 80 interviews with Chalkie's family and friends, his former players, pupils, fellow coaches and rugby administrators - this heavily illustrated biography is packed with insightful anecdotes and stories from those whose lives were influenced by the non-nonsense, focussed, yet genial Cumbrian who regularly reminded his players: "Let others tell you how good you are. I'll tell you how to be better."
