Author: Theuns Stofberg Publisher: Zebra Press (2016) ISBN-10: 1776090004 ISBN-13: 9781776090006 Condition: As new Binding: Softcover Pages: 201 Dimensions: 23.5 x 15 x 1.5 cm +++ Author: Theuns Stofberg +++ A collection of humorous, touching and uplifting stories about life, rugby and everything else by one of South Africas true rugby legends...
Theuns Stofbergs illustrious rugby career spanned from 1976 to 1985, and he is commonly considered one of the all-time Springbok greats. As the 36th captain of the Springboks, one of only 56 players to be given this honour, he was tough and uncompromising on the field but a true gentleman and great raconteur off it, which he proves with the anecdotes collected in this book.
In Stories from the Touchline, he takes the reader behind the scenes, from his childhood days as a schoolboy rugby player to the 1981 flour-bomb tour of New Zealand and winning the Currie Cup for three different provinces, a feat unmatched to this day. He also writes about what it was like playing with legends such as Morn du Plessis, Gerrie Germishuys, Schalk Burger Sr and Gysie Pienaar, marvels at the fans' odd and often colourful behaviour, and affords readers a fascinating glimpse into the amateur days of rugby in South Africa. He also shares his personal struggles with a speech impediment and ill health, and coping with family tragedy, in his own inimitable way. By turns deeply personal, amusing and nostalgic, this book will be treasured by each and every South African rugby fan.
