Behind the Thistle: Playing Rugby for Scotland (Behind the Jersey Series)

Bought as a present, which hasn’t been given yet, but pleased with purchase.

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my husband and he loves it, particularly the stories from the older generation of (ex) players. As others have said, a great present for a Scottish rugby fan.A minor point - I am informed that it has a noticeable number of typos, which don't spoil it, but are a bit irritating. For example `tires' instead of `tries'. Also, I don't know why Amazon are quoting the RRP as £31.98 because our book clearly has £20 written on it. At the current price of £19.19 therefore, it's not much of a bargain, but since I bought it when it was £8.80, I think I got a good deal, and can even forgive the poor proof reading !

Excellent read, love reading what current and ex players say about playing for their country, only thing I would say is that the book itself is quite heavy

Bought as a present. Delighted with the item and was greatly received. Perfect condition and was just what I was looking for at the time.

Bought for my son who is a Scottish rugby fan. He says the title is the most original bit, otherwise full and lacking charisma.

excellent-a present for my Dad.

This is a super book: some wonderful stories and some great photos. Must have taken some considerable legwork on the part of the author. Good effort and very entertaining. It has pride of place on my bookshelf!

Really nice looking book and a fascinating read; made a great gift.

Great insight into the evolution of the game through the prose of those who played at the highest level. Particularly enjoyed the early years in the 1900s and the transition to professionalism.
