The arrival of Cliff Morgan's memoirs couldn't be more timely.Just when Rugby Union struggles to come to terms with its new professionalism and the pressure on its leading players has never been more intense,Cliff,the most creative
stand-off of his generation,recalls his own playing days when rugby was enjoyed for the pure fun and comradeship of the game.
Capped by Cardiff,Wales,the Barbarians and the British Lions,Cliff played in the best company - in every sense.A born story-teller,he brings to life the characters of the men who helped shape his play and his outlook on life; most importantly the inspirational Ned Gribble,games master at Tonyrefail Grammar School who,says Cliff,'had the greatest influence of all on my rugby career'.
Enjoyment of life came naturally to Cliff . . . playing for Cardiff,a club of great character and characters; touring South Africa with the lions and Baa-baas; joining the BBC where he commentated on rugby,co-chaired the early editions of 'A Question of Sport' and rose to
become the much respected Head of Outside Broadcasts.He even found some compensation in the stroke he suffered in 1972.All these experiences are recounted with warmth,enthusiasm and a marvellous gift for humorous narrative.
