Impressive Iain , though I'm somewhat concerned that you admit to owning two books by Garry Schofield

First RL Book I read was Watkins - An Autobiography (2nd one) , from the Height Library 79 ish ( Foolishly I actually took it back and when I asked for it again was told it was Stolen !! )
Last RL book I read was ' No White Flag ' Jamie Peacock ' Blagged from a Rhino's Friend , not purchased ! where he goes into detail about how he attempted to shorten his career with an incident with his hand & a plate glass window.

Does anyone know how many Ex-Salford Players have Biographies . Books Published ? These I know . any others ?

I recently stopped my mother-in-law sending a copy of that book to the charity shop when she was having a clear out. When I had a proper look I found that not only was a first edition but it was also signed by the great man himself!!! It now has pride of place on my bookshelf!!
