Francois Pienaar's book 'Rainbow Warrior' is a good read, as is 'The Winter Game' by Todd Nicholls.

Not a rugby one but the best sports book I've ever read is 'The Miracle of Castel di Sangro' by Joe McGuinness, and of course 'Leading' by Alex Ferguson is educational as well as interesting.

Will Greenwoods auto biography - read it years ago but remember it as being very amusing and a good rugby read

As I will, unfortunately, be one of the ones who are being subjected to a compulsory bout of solitary confinement until around the 20th of June, two of those books will soon be winging heir way from Amazon.

I wish Monkey, if only I could, but a trip to South America could relieve the boredom (Sm58)

Racing Through the Dark - The Fall and Rise of David Millar is the best sporting autobiography I've read. Great, and very honest, insight into the very murky world of professional cycling in the Armstrong era. Highly recommended.

Jason Robinson's Finding my feet - An in depth biography of one of the most entertaining players to ever represent England and the Lions. Certainly he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth!

Art Of Coarse Rugby by Michael Green. Hard to find because it dates from the Sixties. But as a playful look at the way the old amateur game was back in the day, is well worth tracking down.

Tony Cascarino's was the best footie book I've read and WWE Wrestlings William Regal's Walking a Golden Mile is a very good read and while the end product is staged/worked it highlights the struggles he went through and his personal demons. I enjoyed Tony MCCoys Biography too, a sporting great whatever your opinion's on horse racing itself.
