	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| All hail Sir Clive Woodward
		Football is his spiritual home (when he was 15 he was a promising player about to be watched by Everton when his disapproving dad banished him to a rugby-only boarding school, embittering their relationship forever) and he has returned to the fold bearing something even better than pots of cash: a wealth of knowledge.
		Woodward himself has travelled to Brazil to see how young Ronaldos and Ronaldinhos literally spend hours practising their tricks and cultivating their relationship with the ball.
		When given time and room to manoeuvre, Woodward has always succeeded: the biggest flop in his career came when he was asked to patch together players from four different countries for a two-month tour of the most inhospitable rugby territory on the planet.

		Few who saw Clive Woodward play as a dashing, innovative centre for England and the British and Irish Lions in the early 1980's would have guessed that he would turn out to be the most methodical of all rugby union coaches.
		But Woodward, who was sent to a rugby playing boarding school in Wales because of his father's concern over his son's love of soccer, soon sounded just like any football manager as he repeatedly stressed that all that mattered was the result.
		By that stage Woodward and his squad had established a fierce bond of mutual loyalty which was vividly demonstrated when on a tour of South Africa he moved the players out of their hotel — booked by the RFU — deeming it a disgrace.

	after dinner speaker and conference speaking - Humphrey Walters
		Clive Woodward was completely unknown to some of the players and you could see them thinking: 'What do I say to him?' The first thing was getting them to relax, to let them know it was OK to speak out, and that was part of the ethos of the squad.
		Being the clever man that he is, Clive put together a fantastic film showing great moments from Lions tours of the past that said: 'This is what you're in and the tradition you are privileged to be able to perpetuate.' It was very moving.
		Clive may appear to have the aura of someone who knows the answers, but he readily admits the opposite is true.

		You might not have known that Sir Clive made his debut as a player for England in the 1980 5 Nations championship, a year in which England achieved the Grand Slam, our one lonely success between the Triple Crown of 1963, and the Carling-led Grand Slam of 1991.
		For me, the most interesting sections dealt with Sir Clive's often very frustrating dealings with the RFU in the early part of his tenure as manager, trying to change a leadership and management culture which owed far more to the nineteenth century than the twenty first.
		However, lets not forget that Sir Clive managed England to the World Cup, and for me as well as many other England fans, it was worth reading the book just to get his take on that momentous sporting achievement, and to relive it all.
