A Widnes fan must read book - By: David Basnett, 16 Nov 2005 
If you are a big Widnes fan . You must read this book . Even if you are not Chemic \ Viking fan . It is still a great read & hard to put down . It will make you laugh , think & amaze you (Offiah & nearly became Wigan's coach especiallly) in parts . Go on take the risk ?
Rugby League Legend...with laughs - By: , 24 Jun 2004 I can only assume the Leigh fan hasn't read this book properly. Doug clearly states he was sent home from the GB tour & subsequently never played for them again due to his long standing knee injury.
The Goulding incident is in fact discussed too. This book is a great read for anyone with an interest in Rugby League & some of Doug's humour is laugh out loud stuff.
Great Player/Manager......Awful Book - By: Leigh fan, 15 May 2004 
This could have been a great book. Laughton has so much to tell - what a great career with the great rugby clubs. But so little is revealed here. Why was Doug sent home from the Ashes tour & never played for GB again? The true story with Bobbie Goulding is not revealed. There are no insights into his personal life beyond the rubbish about his 'plumbing business'.
Finallly at 150 pages this book is well overpriced. The author even resorts to padding out the book with pages of statistics at the end. Great player...awful book
On the march with Duggies army! - By: The Nudge, 30 Mar 2004 A brilliant insight into the games best-ever coach.
I cant reallly add to what Vic King has wrote other than that, as a Liverpool fan, I see Doug Laughton in the same light as 'Sir' Bob Paisley, Shanks & King Kenny.
I would recommend the book to any fan of any sport.
