Beschreibung
Herbert Victor 'Chalkie' White revolutionised rugby, transformed the Leicester Tigers into the most successful club in England and was widely considered the best head coach England never had. This long-awaited first biography of Leicester's legendary player and coach, written by former Tigers forward, Martin Whitcombe, provides a fascinating insight into the life and career of a true rugby visionary who inspired numerous future England and Lions internationals as well as generations of rugby coaches. Comprehensively researched - based on over 80 interviews with Chalkie's family and friends, his former players, pupils, fellow coaches and rugby administrators - this heavily illustrated biography is packed with insightful anecdotes and stories from those whose lives were influenced by the non-nonsense, focussed, yet genial Cumbrian who regularly reminded his players: "Let others tell you how good you are. I'll tell you how to be better. "
