Play With a Smile... Funny Stories in Rugby League
by Maurice Bamford

[Review Pending]

Maurice Bamford, former coach of Great Britain, Wigan and Leeds relates a series of tales that capture the spirit of the tough yet humorous men who played rugby league at amateur and professional level and held down a full time day job at the same time.

These men - English, Welsh, Aussies, Kiwis and more, were real characters, dedicated to the game and they enthralled the crowds who waited impatiently for the winter weekends to come around.

Play with a Smile tells just some of the comical tales that surrounded these brave men; from the coach who had a fight with the opposing team's mascot - a six foot blue dragon, to the winger who was transferred to pay for a zoo's lion!
