Except for This Sporting Life and Up 'n' Under, there have been precious few films that have featured the sport of Rugby League. However some time ago I was asked to send a copy of my first novel 'One Winter' to the Pinewood Studios so is there to be another?
On Saturday (June 13th) I will be in Hull in Waterstones signing copies of both 'One Winter' and my fourth novel 'One Autumn' which is set during the 1992/93 season against a background of Work, Family Life and Rugby League.
Both novels are inspired by the old saying about work "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller". Much of my content comes from places I have worked at as a draughtsman over the years and so there is a local connection because in the 1970s I worked at Blue Circle Cement, Reckitts and Myson Radiators.
A present for Fathers' Day for someone maybe.






[b]Visit //www.geofflee.net for details of my novels 'One Winter', 'One Spring', 'One Summer' 'One Autumn' 'Two Seasons'. and "Three Good Years" All six feature Rugby League against a humourous Lancashire/Yorkshire background and are inspired by the old saying about work: "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller."[/b]

It was an ITV special made after the success of the football First World Cup story.

There were a few other Aussie players in the RL story but I can't remember who now.






I like toast as much as anyone , but not for breakfast , dinner and tea.

I'm pretty sure there is one in production at the moment about Ian Millward?

You could make a film about Threepennies in 70's / 80's and no-one would believe it.

That golden waterfall from the back of the stand would look good on the big screen !!
