The 1926-27 New Zealand 'All Blacks' rugby league tour of Great Britain was the most tempestuous sporting venture of all time and led to seven of the players being disqualified for life on their return home. Set against the backdrop of a financially crippling miners' strike, the 'guilty' tourists rebelled against their controversial coach. This book tells the story in detail.
