I picked this book up in a local charity shop for 10p It's quite a large book and in excellent condtion. I also picked the Willie Carson biography up at the same time and as these two were team captains on "A question of sport" many years ago, Great programme, I thought I'd try them TTM. Anyway I sent the book off to Bill Beaumount CBE, Via a private address, On the 23rd of March. Today the book has been returned signed by Bill and he has also added his graph to a b/w photo in the book. William "Bill" Blackledge Beaumont CBE (born 9 March 1952, Chorley, Lancashire, England) was captain of the England rugby union team at a time when they struggled to win games. His greatest moment as captain was the unexpected 1980 Grand Slam. He played as a lock. He is currently a member of the International Rugby Board. Thank you Bill Beaumout CBE. And yet more stamps to be recycled.
