"Born To Lead" THE ALL BLACK TEST CAPTAINS |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
THE ALL BLACK TEST CAPTAINS have always been special – a select group who were surely born to lead. The feats of the team, called the All Blacks since 1905, became legend. Year in, year out, through the decades of the late 19th century, throughout the 20th century and now into the new millennium, they have forged an international record no other team can match. The men who took most on their shoulders to ensure this record remained a proud one were the test captains. All Black coaches might scheme and plan the downfall of the mighty Springboks and other rugby nations. But it was the captains who had to put those tactics into practice on the field. And often, in the years between the world wars, these ‘battleground generals’ had to do the job without a coach. Many age-old questions are asked and answered in Born to Lead. How Porter came to hate his manager and whether the controversial Mark Nicholls was behind the coup that ousted Ces Badeley from the captaincy of the 1924 Invincibles? What did Maurice Brownlie really think of George Nepia? Was Charlie Saxton robbed of the chance to be All Black captain? How JJ Stewart broke the heart of a future All Black captain, how Frank Oliver was asked to captain the 1978 team that became the first All Black Grand Slammers. And why he turned it down. Why Andy Dalton decided to seek to have Mourie reinstated even though he could have taken over the captaincy permanently. Did Gary Whetton conspire to have Buck Shelford dropped? What Shelford thinks happened. How Sean Fitzpatrick was offered an All Black coaching role – before he’d even retired and why he turned it down. For the first time, as a body, these 56 often great leaders are studied in an attempt to understand what drove them to countless victories and to acknowledge their contribution to a nation’s growing pride. Published in the year 2000, this is a hardcover book in a slip case. A limited edition of 500. This book is personally autographed by the surviving 28 All Black Captains at the time of signing in 2000. It begins with Jack Griffiths who captained the team in 1936. It is a unique collection of All Black signatures. Ref: bkpnnz-btl-xc - £225.00
