Publisher's Synopsis
The triumphs; the heartbreak; the glory; the controversies; the heroes and the villains -- South Africa's sporting history is one of drama and greatness. Often it has been a drama acted out on a huge international stage; sometimes only a handful of aficionados watch from under umbrellas next to muddy fields. But wherever South Africans have played, there has always been one spectator for whom it was more important than a game: the sports writer.
