Description

Jock Hobbs was no ordinary man. His achievements were as numerous as they were outstanding. But despite all the success he enjoyed during his 52 years on this planet, to Jock, first and foremost, came his family and friends. Featuring a colourful collection of personal stories and anecdotes, the book covers key events such as his crucial role in the Packer-led WRC vs NZRU battle and the birth of professionalism in 1995, the 2003 Rugby World Cup co-hosting debacle, the heroic Rugby World Cup 2011 bid, and his battle with cancer and the brutality of its treatment. Remembering Jock is a complete tribute, and a great way to remember and celebrate his life.
