Autobiography of Llanelli prop, Welsh Rugby Union Board and International Rugby Board member Anthony Buchanan. Although he only won a handful of International caps for Wales, Anthony Buchanan's story is unusual in that it spans both the playing and administrative sides of the game as well as bridging Welsh rugby's momentous shift from the amateur days to professionalism. A trusted confidant of Gareth Jenkins, he is ideally placed to comment on Llanelli RFC's transition from club to region, not to mention the birth of European rugby. He is a natural raconteur and as well as telling his own story, he delivers a rare and informed insight into one of Wales's most famous rugby clubs and regions and the highest echelons of the game. In his capacity as former Chairman of the International Referees Selection Panel, he discusses his frank opinions of the role of Television Match Officials and their impact on the game for players and spectators alike, the career of Nigel Owens and the infamous red card issued by Alain Rolland to Sam Warburton in the 2011 Rugby World Cup semi-final. He also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the rugby world that is always laced with humor and often downright hilarious.

"Top man... I thought that I'd lived a colourful life until I read about Karl's adventures" - MICKEY THOMAS, WREXHAM AFC & WALES "Certified Twitter legend" - LADBIBLE Karl Phillips is just one of the lads - roofer by day, pilsner drinker by night. But as Bootlegger, he's scored hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube with his hilarious matchday vlogs and keeps a huge number of followers on social media hooked with his humorous musings on life, work, the Flamethrower and his beloved Wrexham AFC. He even has a beer named after him - Wrexham Lager's iconic Bootlegger 1974 Pilsner, which has made its way onto the shelves of major supermarkets. From tough beginnings with teenage parents to a string of jobs in local factories, whether smearing butter on his headmaster's office window or getting a round of golf in during his shift as a street-cleaner, duckin' around shooting videos in football grounds and pubs across the UK or slightly overdoing it in holiday spots around the world, or in the throes of any of the other hilariously random antics described here, the Captain doesn't take himself too seriously and is mellowing with age, like a fine pilsner!
