Mick Shoebottom was the type of play every Rugby League side wants
in its ranks. Tough, durable, fast, skilful and with an incredible
will to win, he was the ultimate players' player in the toughest of
team sports. Hunslet-born, he was an integral part of the great
Leeds side which swept all before them in the late 1960s and early
'70s, becoming the first and only player in the code's history to
represent his country in Test matches in four different starting
positions, such was his value and versatility. A key member of the
last Great Britain side to win the Ashes in Australia in 1970, he
went on two tours and won every domestic medal available until
tragedy struck and he was grievously injured scoring perhaps the
most infamous try witnessed at his beloved Headingley. This is the
story of his remarkable career, illustrated with around 100 images
and mementoes taken from his scrapbooks and featuring reminiscences
from a number of his former teammates. The sixth book written about
the Leeds club by Phil Caplan and with a foreword by Alan Smith and
John Atkinson, it commemorates what would have been the sixtieth
birthday of one of Rugby League's true greats.
