Published by the Rugby Press Ltd, Auckland, 1993. Faded spine, minor wear along top edge of dustjacket, good secondhand condition.

The enchanting story of the skinny island kid with the Afro who rose to become an All Black superstar and celebrity.

In this fascinating biography he tells of his bewilderment at being uprooted from his native land as a child, how the death of his father when he was eleven devasted him, how he reached the depths of despair on his first All Black tour, then fought his way back from a crippling leg injury in 1991 only to come close to death playing rugby in Tonga in 1992.

But mostly this book reflects the sunshine personality of Tuigamala. It abounds in delightfully amusing anecdotes. Wherever he goes, whatever he does, interesting things always seem to happen around him. They're all vividly recorded in thsi biography.
