this emotive story about the Scotland-England Grand Slam shoot-out of 1990 is shudderingly good, Tom English has interviewed all the main protagonists to produce a richly textured picture of the build-up, the day itself and the aftermath. Premios
The highly acclaimed, gripping inside story of the 1990 Calcutta Cup - when an England-Scotland rugby match became more than a game. Longlisted for the 2010 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award Murrayfield, the Calcutta Cup, March 1990. England vs. Scotland - winner-takes-all for the Five Nations Grand Slam, the biggest prize in northern hemisphere rugby. Will Carling's England are the very embodiment of Margaret Thatcher's Britain - snarling, brutish and all-conquering. Scotland are the underdogs - second-class citizens from a land that's become the testing ground for the most unpopular tax in living memory- Thatcher's Poll Tax. In Edinburgh, nationalism is rising high - what happens in the stadium will resound far beyond the pitch. The Grudge brilliantly recaptures a day that has gone down in history when a rugby match became more than a game. This is the real story of an extraordinary conflict, told with astounding insight and unprecedented access to key players, coaches and supporters on both sides (Will Carling, Ian McGeechan, Brian Moore and the rest). Tom English has produced a gripping account of a titanic struggle that thrusts the reader right into the heart of the action. Game on. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
