First it concentrates on the 'thinking' side of the game more than any previous book of the kind; secondly it conveys very realistically how in fact the game is played ... down on the pitch (which may at times be substantially different from the impression given by textbooks). On all aspects of the fastest and most exciting of 'men-only' sports, J .T.Greenwood gives practical and helpful advice to players, coaches, and spectators who want to gain an intelligent understandinq of the game. His realism provides an invaluable guide for the refinement of basic techniques."; previous owner's name inside front cover; repair to base of spine; a neat copy; 188 pages. (Book ref.
