Book excerpt: "The story of Keith Murdoch is the story that won't go away. Ejected from the All Blacks' long tour of 1972-73 because of a run-in with a security guard, Murdoch thereafter chose the solitary life of a nomad, much of it in the Australian. Other rugby players, not just New Zealanders, have offended more than Murdoch and been penalised less. Murdoch was a victim of circumstance and of an era when players were supposed to be seen and not heard. For the first time, a book explores the whole of the Murdoch story: it tracks the truth behind the many tales of his prodigious strength, it details why he was sometimes mysteriously absent from teams for which he'd been chosen, and it fills in the gaps from the missing years. Most crucially and tellingly, it peels back the layers of speculation about what really happened in Cardiff and exposes where the real fault lies"--Back cover.
