Gladiator - the Norm Hewitt Story by Michael Laws

Bully, drug dealer, drunk, All Black. These were but some of the early incarnations of Norm Hewitt, one of rugby's genuinely hard men. Gladiator is an intensely personal account of his rise, fall and struggling redemption. The story of a man as much at war with himself as any opponent on the rugby field. But Gladiator is more than jsut a superbly crafted biography. It is also a fresh and stunning insight into New Zealand's national game from a player whose first-class and international career spans three decades. An unique perspective on the coaches, players and administrators, as well as the money, politics and groupies. Told from the inside with a searing honesty that will shock and enlighten. This 2001 Darius Press Paperback is in good condition.
