  East Terrace | For the rugby football enthusiast
Jim Telfer has experienced almost everything the game of rugby can offer, be it in his time as a player, coach or administrator.
Telfer claims, jokingly, that he was the first socialist to get anywhere in Scottish rugby, but his interest in politics, albeit in the rugby sense, too often overshadows the rest of the book’s content.
Jim Telfer is one of the greats of British rugby and, by rights, his experiences and charismatic personality should have made for a fascinating autobiography.

Reflecting on how his side has confounded the critics, Telfer said: "We were supposed to be wooden spoonists, and I think there is only myself and the rest of the squad who felt we were going to do as well as we did.

Scotland's Director of Rugby for 10 years, Jim Telfer is one of the most respected coaches in the international game.
Telfer's huge influence as coach and motivator was one of the crucial elements in the triumph, his gruelling scrummaging sessions quickly passing into rugby folklore for their duration and frightening intensity.
As a player Jim Telfer won 22 caps for Scotland between his debut against France in 1964 and 1970, and would have won more but for injury.

 BBC News | Scotland | Telfer the Terrible
Telfer toured with the Lions again in 1968, although by then the knee injury that was to end his career two years later was already well advanced.
The tourists were considered a poor test for the reigning world champions, with many newspaper column inches in both South Africa and the UK dedicated to predictions of doom.
Most recently, Telfer converted Scotland from serious wooden spoon contenders to 1999 Five Nations champions in the space of a season, as they played the brand of fast, furious, super-confident rugby that has become his trademark.

 Official Website of the British & Irish Lions Rugby Tour - player profile
Like his coaching partner Ian McGeechan, Jim Telfer is another Scottish great whose contribution to the Lions straddles both sides of the touchline.
As coach, however, a punishing itinerary, injury to key players and superior opposition limited what Telfer could achieve in 1983, although his team were not disgraced in any of the first three internationals before being swept away in the fourth, by a record 38-6.
In 1997, though, Telfer was at the heart of the Lions' 2-1 defeat of South Africa, devising the forward tactics that allowed the comparatively diminutive touring pack to get the better of the monster Springbok eight.
