You might never play rugby again.' Everything that I had done for the largest part of my life had been centred around rugby, so you can imagine the shock I experienced on hearing that. But if you thought that was bad - there's more. The doctor went on to say that I could even die. That was the truly devastating part! From being on cloud nine - selected for the Springbok squad to go to the World Cup - I had been hit with shattering news that was more than enough to knock the wind out of my sails. I couldn't believe it - just when my career was beginning to soar. Being a top scorer in the winning Super 14 team, giving great performances in the Tri Nations and against England at Loftus, getting...
At the 2012 Olympics Chad le Clos, a twenty-year-old from Durban, astounded the world by achieving the 'unbelievable': he beat Michael Phelps, his childhood hero and the world's number one swimmer, in the 200 metres butterfly final. This book tells all about the making of a swimming sensation - in the words of the golden boy himself, his family and those who have stood by him from the start. It is an encouraging account of realising the ultimate goal, not through chance, but with the resolute support of family and friends and Chad's own relentless dedication to his sport. Taking its title from his dad, Bert le Clos', famous exclamation on BBC TV when his son defeated Phelps, this book follows Chad's rise to Olympic stardom. An inspirational story for all wishing to achieve beyond what may seem possible.
Jy mag dalk nooit weer rugby speel nie. Alles wat ek vir die grootste deel van my lewe gedoen het, het om rugby gewentel, so jy kan jou voorstel hoe geskok ek was om dit te hoor. Maar as jy gedink het dit was sleg - daar's meer. Die dokter het ook gesê dat ek selfs kon sterf. Dit was die werklik verpletterende nuus! Vanaf die euforie - gekies vir die Springbokgroep om na die Wêreldbeker te gaan - is ek nou deur die absoluut skrikwekkende nuus getref wat meer as genoeg was om die wind uit my seile te haal. Ek kon dit nie glo nie - net toe my loopbaan begin vlamvat het. Ek was die belangrikste driedrukker in die suksesvolle Super 14 span, het uitstekende vertonings gehad in die Drienasiesree...
South Africans of all races remember the moment when Neil Tovey raised the Africa Cup of Nations trophy in 1996, with Nelson Mandela at his side wearing his number 9 jersey. It still represents South Africa’s greatest success in international football. In his long-awaited autobiography, Tovey tells his fascinating life story, describing his modest upbringing in Durban, his entry to a mainly black sport in a deeply segregated 1980s South Africa, and his time as captain of Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana. He recalls his introduction to ‘muti’ rituals by team members and his growing popularity among Chiefs supporters, who nicknamed him Mokoko (boss chicken). Tovey also writes about his experiences as a coach and as technical director of the South African Football Association (SAFA), and shares his insights about the state of the sport today. He talks frankly about his family life and about surviving two heart attacks, and gives insights into leadership and success. This book will appeal to all football fans, but it is also a fascinating story of a man who has lived a truly South African life.
'Inga the Winger' - Va'aiga Tuigamala, one of the most imposing and explosive wingers New Zealand rugby ever produced - has decided to tell his full story For The first time. This is the fascinating, inspirational story of overcoming hardship, reaching the heights of All Black hero status And The debacle of the amateur/professional era, The excesses of UK rugby league, and finally of returning to a vocation among the people rooted at the very centre of his real life.

Much more than a sports biography, this is the real story behind the 'gentle giant' of New Zealand rugby.
Say hello to Constance, a sweet, grateful, good little girl--NOT! In fact, she’s a mischief-making, rule-breaking imp with a wicked gleam in her eye. Wherever she goes, trouble (and her enormous cat, Tiny) surely follow. That’s why children will go absolutely mad for her: Constance does exactly what they dream of doing in their naughtiest moments...and she’s never repentant. Making the delicious Constance stories even more fun: the comic contrast between the deadpan text and the outrageous illustrations. Like the cheeky character herself, the pictures always say the opposite of the words
