THE JAMES SMALL STORY
1995 World Cup-winning Springbok wing James Small was the face of post-isolation South African rugby.
Labeled a ‘bad boy’ and a ‘rebel’ by those who forced authority upon him, James was a sensitive, honest and caring person to those who knew him best.
James may have left us, but his legacy lives on in the lives of those he touched, including family, friends, teammates, opposition players, coaches and fans.
It’s these people who veteran rugby writer and author Gavin Rich, former SA Rugby magazine editor Simon Borchardt will ask to tell their personal stories about James. They will be written in the voice of those who tell them and provide unique insight into James as a player and a person.
Appearing in a limited-edition, hardcover coffee-table book alongside stunning photos of James (many of which have never been published before), readers can expect to reminisce, laugh out loud, and shed a tear or two.
This book is sure to become a much-sought-after collector’s item that does justice to the incredible life and rugby career of James Small.
