Paperback very good condition for age
The Lion in Winter is Bill Beaumont’s candid, good‑humoured account of his rise from Lancashire club rugby to captaining England and the British & Irish Lions. He reflects on the 1980 Grand Slam, the physical and emotional demands of international rugby, and the camaraderie, scrapes, and characters of the amateur era. Beaumont also addresses the concussions that forced his early retirement and his transition into broadcasting and rugby administration. It’s a warm, self‑deprecating portrait of a respected leader and one of English rugby’s most recognisable figures. z
