A Man of All Talents is the remarkable story of rugby and wrestling
legend Douglas 'Duggy' Clark. Born in 1891 in the sleepy Cumbrian
village of Maryport, at 14 he left school to work for his father's
coal merchant business. Duggy grew into an exceptionally strong but
quiet and reserved young man. His two great passions were rugby and
Cumberland and Westmorland-style wrestling, and he excelled at
both. By 24 he was already a rugby league great and a key member of
Huddersfield's 'Team of All Talents', winning every honour the
sport could offer. He represented Britain in the infamous 1914
'Rorke's Drift' tour of Australia before being called up to serve
in the Great War. He was awarded the Military Medal for bravery,
but his war injuries were so severe he was discharged with a 20%
disability certificate. Doctors gave Duggy an ultimatum: either he
could stay home and live a long but sedate and ordinary life or
risk his health by returning to sport. He chose the latter and went
on to achieve more extraordinary and pioneering feats.
