As you may already be aware, Ikram Butt has launched his autobiography
'Tries and Prejudice'.
Tries & Prejudice is the revealing, hard-hitting and often amusing autobiography of former Featherstone, Leeds, Huddersfield and London rugby league star Ikram Butt.
Born and bred in West Yorkshire and these days the driving force behind the British Asian Rugby Association (BARA), Butt, England's first muslim rugby international in either code, tells his unique life story whilst also lifting the lid on the wider Muslim experience of British sport and the obstacles which lie in the way of encouraging greater participation from an often disaffected and marginalised youth. Written in association with rugby league writer Tony Hannan and featuring testimonials from a number of well-known sporting and political names, Tries & Prejudice is a fascinating and timely book, quite like no other.
Ikram will be coming to Waterstone's New St, Huddersfield on Saturday 13th June 2009 at Noon to sign copies of his book and meet Rugby League fans.
