The Game, The Goal - The Grant Fox Story

The Rugby Press Ltd, 1992. Good secondhand condition.

The story of one of New Zealand's most astonishing sports champions, Grant Fox. It is more than a champion's life story. It is a unique commentary on the game by a player whose extraordinary ability as a goalkicker has influenced the tactics of international and provincial opposition to a degree never before seen in rugby.

Behind the clinical point-amasser and tactician perceived by the public the world over there is another Fox. It is a Fox with deep concerns for the game and for the players, a Fox with a wry sense of humour, a Fox cynical of a national trait which elevates sports people to heroism when they achieve deeds from which the public can take reflected glory and which then dashes them to the ground in leaner times.
