50 of the Best

Reviewed: 30th Nov 2009 at 14:32:48 GMT

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

“Martin Offiah’s 50 of The Best is an unusual sports book. It’s not a biography or a memoir. It slings no mud and calls no names. Neither does the author spend most of the book promoting himself. What interests Martin Offiah is try-scoring. That’s not a surprise, because he was the most successful try-scorer in modern rugby league. 50 Of The Best is Martin Offiah’s personal selection of the best scores in the game’s recent history. In the book, the ultimate try-scorer discusses and analyses the try-scorer’s art, celebrates the game’s skills and offers a little discussion on how things have changed over the last 30 years. It will interest all rugby fans, of whatever code.”
