[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 832415, member: 73144"] Just finished The Iron Duke, Bobby Windsor's autobiography. Interesting read. Tough life away from the pitch. Anyone below a certain age wouldn't believe how strictly the "amateur" rules were enforced and would probably break out in a cold sweat at the last chapter The Game's Gone Soft. Whatever you think of the game back then, it was clear that Windsor just loved playing rugby for its own sake rather than for what he could get out of it. He dropped down a level and carried on into his forties fully accepting he'd take a kicking every week from youngsters looking to make a mark. [/QUOTE]
