Holy thunder****s, Batman. One of the most brutal biographies I've read (not that it couldn't happen to a nicer guy).

Some of what I've read in there would probably get him into the semis in the Infamous battle, and beat a few match-fixers along the way.

Btw, anyone know other biographies/accounts out there with seriously controversial content? Cricket dirt is more addictive than I thought.
Boycs is riveting and even if controversial it rings true as one goes through it and I am a big Boycott fan - Boycott the commentator that is :o)
