| Quote ="Bilko"I've not read the book but for me even though they were really token gesture appearances, the 6 appearances he came back to make in 2006 mean so much more to me than the previous 317 games.
We were dying towards relegation and the man risked his health to try and help us. He struggled in that run and actually made very little impact but the fact he put his hand up to help spoke volumes for the man. You can't buy pride in the shirt like that.
It was a shame though he didn't get to play in either of the last two home games that season in which we battered first Bradford then Hull. Would have been nice to give him a proper send off with Brett Dallas who for me have been our best servants of this decade.'"
His comments regarding that comeback show just how much he loves the club

Kris explains in the book that he was happy to end his Wigan career on his terms and didn't want any hullabuloo about his retirement. Legend.

He says he's still owed some money from all that, which surprised me.

| Great read. Well writtten which can't always be said for rugby league autombiograhies.
I'm from Wakefield and it was still a good read without being a Wigan fan.
Had respect for him before but has increased my opinion of him after reading that.

| Mine arrived in the post this morning. I thought I'd have a quick look and then read it later but I couldn't put it down. I can well recommend it, it's an honest and riveting read - written by a gentleman and a legend. If you haven't read it yet you are missing out.

| One of those players that opposition fans find hard to dislike!!
For me the best full back of the SL era.
I didn't know he'd done a book. I'll certainly look out for it.

| I loved the book.
It would be hard to find somebody more worthy to look upto both on and off the pitch than Kris Radlinski.

Do you think he'll be able to teach Wellens how to run?
Nahh, forget it.
Even Radders can't work miracles.

I agree, excellent book.
For entirely different reasons I am looking forward to reading Longy's book though

On the whole it's pretty good, I just found myself reading a passage about "discovering my routes" and thought "eh?". It's a good read, I just find it frustrating that the publisher didn't have a good proof reader going over it as it does Rads a disservice.

| I'm about half way through it at the minute. Bloke is a legend class act on and off the pitch, i met him a few weeks back and he signed my copy for me. The Willie Peters chapter had me in tears laughing!

I can't remember, but didn't he hand write this in the first place? So somebody typed it up and didn't bother with the simple fixing and then it was proof read (or not).
It's a real shame for Rads that he didn't get the quality of support from the publisher he should have. I don't claim to be a good writer myself and make plenty of typo's myself, I just think that the publisher could have made more of an effort.
Anyway, great book by Rads , very enjoyable with some good insights to the world of RL.

He states in the book he didn't in fact play for nothing, but what he did get was nothing like that of a players salary.
