The Essential ALL BLACKOGRAPHY by Ron Palenski
Published by Upstart Press, RRP $39.99 (a bargain for this handsome hardback!)
The indispensable guide to every All Black from one of New Zealand’s
most respected sports writers!
Lavish new edition of this indispensable guide to every All
Blacks from the very first player — James Allan in 1884 to the most recent crop
selected for the All Blacks end-of-year tour in 2016. A headshot of every player
— many in full colour — is accompanied by a potted biography, including all
playing statistics. This is the most comprehensive book on the 1100+ players to
have represented New Zealand in rugby ever published.
First published in 2007, The ALL BLACKOGRAPHY was a runaway
bestseller. This beautifully produced edition is bigger, brighter and
better than its predecessor. Also included is a chapter on the evolution of
the famous All Blacks jersey and a comprehensive statistical section.
